See, that's not helpful, only more of the same. To make it about me not availing myself of the written resources does not even make sense, Brogan. I shared that I didn't know where to start even AFTER reading the content you pointed me to. If you cannot see things from my perspective, then you forgot where you were in 2011 when you yourself asked beginner's questions.
But I think instead of finding fault with me, maybe make a note that the process I - and others - inquire about in this context is needing to be revisited and streamline? That would be most helpful.
