I guarantee you - if you read 'all the articles' on QT or cycling under the 'stickies' - you would be growing African violets now. Frankly - some of the stickies (IHO) are not correct. There is a camaraderie (IMO) about asking a question and getting an answer - or a couple opinions. The only place I go on this forum - is the 'unanswered threads' section (for the most part) - and I have learned more reading those answers than any sticky.I can definitely attest to being new and making mistakes that if I had read every article and unlimited dollars I wouldn’t have made any of the mistakes I did.
Simple answer is instant gratification.
Another hobby of mine is mountain climbing. Had I read every article on that as well I wouldn’t have failed my first attempt on Mt Rainier. I succeeded my second attempt however and went to climb another one 4K feet higher the next yea
Or how about firearms? Don’t get one until you are en expert with them?
We all enjoy the same thing on this forum and some are experts and others are beginning. We are all here to learn hopefully and apply that knowledge.
I will read as many posts as I can and ask as many questions I feel won’t get looked down on from the experts in here so I can be a bit more successful at this hobby just like my others.
