I've been surprised by the recent patience to newbie questions.
Among biological scientists, there are lumpers and there are splitters. Lumpers like things organized together under fewer categories. Splitters like to make new categories for minute differences in common things.
I'm a lumper. In forums, I like all my info together in one big thread, rather than dozens of like threads with similar titles. With lumping, it's easy to find a useful thread and return to it over and over, and add to its value.
In any case, I'd encourage us to add our info to older threads that are well-titled and full of great details. For whatever my opinion is worth.
