Google is always a great start if you don't have anything more specific bookmarked. Part of the skill any newbie needs to learn is how to sift through Google for authoritative references, and/or how to do a search in a way that limits the responses one is going to get to those that are usable. If I look up something ortho-related, do I take something from Bob's New Age cast supply? or from Wheeles'? I still -- & will always -- feel that it is better to teach someone how to teach her/himself than it is to spoon-feed a bunch of predigested facts. You are darn right I'm critical, and no, I'm not going to be quiet as long as I think a newbie can learn something from me.
