You are absolutely right that Usenet can be used for quick resolutions, idea exchange and knowledge sharing. One variant of knowledge sharing is to provide pointers to where the information exists - I prefer this in part because I prefer to have referencable sources for information. Others prefer to provide explicit answers. There are benefits and difficulties either way. OP can then use whatever suits them best.

But I'm confused: Are you saying a pointer to a white paper or document with the exact answer is a bad thing? Or somehow slowing down knowledge sharing? Or perhaps there are only limited ways of doing things 'right'?
