Okay, obviously this is not going to be a very effective discussion using a broad sense of the subject. So, I'd like to request that you, raydarkhorse, provide some examples to what you are talking about so that we have a better idea as to what you are bringing to our attention.
As far as I can tell, many explanations have already been given as to why there might be more discussion of equipment than knowledge, and there have also been several post pointing out that this site/forum provides a vast amount of knowledge as well as equipment.
