Availability of knowledge

I am continually amazed at what is out on the web. I have been working on a CBT for work and ran into a clinch I couldn't fix. I googled it and began reading websites and blogs. Sure enough someone else had the same issue and wrote about the solution that worked for her. The fact that people put their questions out on the web has always intrigued me but I am slowly beginning to understand the appeal and the benefits of doing just that.
