It has helped in research on cameras, software and accessories. I have found that many do not use the "search" feature to their question before posting the question-hopefully they know it exists. I have used it in travel to locate places to shoot and Hoggers have always went out of their way to post their experiences both good and bad for locations when asked. As in the general population, you sometimes have sarcastic inputs but take it in stride. I quickly scan daily and read the questions and answers that interest me-sometimes with lots of humor. Just keep in mind that everyone has not been enjoying the hobby since 1974 when I got my first Minolta 101. Love the site.
