Many people just prefer to either let someone else do it or refuse to learn. It's easier. At least most of the posters at Pelican seem to be interested in learning how to do simple things. I figure no question is stupid as long as it is sincerely asked out of interest. I, on the other hand, have always been interested in the hows and whys. Many years ago we bought a new color tv with three months home service. It crapped out and a tech came over and said "Sooner or later you will think you can fix it and that is what makes me rich, people like that." I thought about it, enrolled in a electronic night school course and have NEVER taken anything to a professional again for repairs. There are so many opportunities for learning there really isn't an excuse. Even if the person does not want to do the repairs themselves, they can at least be knowledgable and reduce the chances of being flimflammed.
