As others have said,

All Knowledge Is Contained On (In) The (Fandom) List.

I use it unabashedly and far too often, as I am woefully (but not 
willfully) ignorant of important details.  I am a "big picture" man, and 
there exist on the list the smartest people around.  Sometimes, people 
(like me) use it when they should be using Google.  But it's a great 
time saver, and the list provides a lot of perspective (and some snark), 
so, and it's usually entertainment to follow the thread, to some 
fraction of the list population.  That is, some people are bored stiff 
by questions about formatting a flash drive (for example) but others are 
fascinated.  So, if there is no ON-topic conversation, at the moment, 
feel free to take advantage of us.  I will help if I can, or at least 
start you on the way.
