I find useful how to info on YouTube but sometimes have to watch 3 or 4 and sometimes more. Not all posters are as talented or smart as they think they are but by combining a little information from a variety of sources I generally find a method I can work with. Plus we can watch PBS Newshour whenever we choose.
