Chris-
Your complaining is starting to sound like sour grapes! :-)
All I did for my searching was enter the words from the questions into
Google. I also started all my searching on TON first. It wasn't really that
hard. As Rich said, part of the point was for us to visit the sponsors'
pages, which was the tradeoff for the prizes, which were the best ever, in
my opinion. It certainly was worth the effort, if you won. It never took me
more than a few minutes, except when I got extremely side-tracked--which
happened frequently. There is a wealth of information out there, and
sometimes this kind of search turns up a gold mine! I can't complain one
bit.
