Okay -- there are some bad guys out there.
On the other hand I have been a CT user for quite a while, have three
manuals -- for different versions that I purchased -- and I don't know
everything that is contained in them. I would like to feel like I could
ask the reflector a question without bringing my name/call under
suspicion.
After all, that is what the reflector is for. Just because folks ask dumb
questions doesn't mean that they are dishonest.
