i've got no problem asking, but most of my Poser problems don't get answered here.   i mean, i learn tons here, but the actual debugging type problems are specific to whatever i'm doing (or trying to do).  general stuff is cool, and when i have no clue about something, asking questions is very helpful.  but when i'm about 9 steps along a 10 step process and trying to get the performance i want out of something i've made, i'm just on my own and frustrated.  that's when i feel discouraged and all alone.  and that's when the support of people in this community (like the ever-helpful RobynsVeil) is absolutely invaluable.
