    For a good several years, StackOverflow provided great speed in answers, even if they were not always great quality. (They were frequently dead on the mark bullseye.) I am waiting for an answer in SuperUser (one of the StackExchange sites) and I wonder if I'll get one. Is this a recent phenomenon ? Is it Seasonal ? Labor day ? Brass Tacks: What other site(s) might I join in hopes of finding nerds who can answer the weird fringe questions ?

        The question was motivated after a dose of reality HERE[^] with which I had to (sadly) agree. Let me save you a click and quote the relevant sentence... "...*This is really a Q&A question. Once you ask there, you will then be notified to use Google.*..."

                Alright, just posted my question[^] in another group here on CodeProject. I await the flurry of messages telling me to ask google (which I did, twice, and followed the path to increased confusion and non-answers). I'm just trying to get my screens to fade smoothly in a PDF file. So far, I have found nobody (including the use of google results) who knows the answer

                  I can't help you but you posted in the "Free Tools" forum which is a place to tell others about free useful tools. It needs to be in QA!

                        I just find it somehow ironical to ask, on a site that proposes a Q&A area and programming forums, where you could find a site that proposes a Q&A area and programming forums. It is pretty much the same than asking on facebook for a good site to post crap or stories about your cat. I am not sure what should be derived from that. :|

                                    By the way, saw your response over there, sending me to google. Just wondering, I googled the question again. I'm the (temporary, I'm certain) star of the internet for this question. Google And Bing both found the topic: In my questions here and on StackOverflow.

                                      Uh-Oh, somebody responded to free tools with exactly the same complaint that you just had. Now I can't delete it.

                                          By the way, saw your response over there, sending me to google. Just wondering, I googled the question again. I'm the (temporary, I'm certain) star of the internet for this question. Google And Bing both found the topic: In my questions here and on StackOverflow.

                                          It's disconcerting when that happens, isn't it? First time it happened to me, I googled something I needed to do and top of the list was a tip here. That I'd written... and then forgotten... :O
