Well... No offense and not looking for a fight... but your preferences shouldn't be a driving force overriding someone else's preferences. Your preferences shouldn't be used to tell others what advice to give, or not give.
If your preference is to not use an existing group with over 3,000 users and literal YEARS of post history on it - then don't. That's cool.
You do you - but let others do as they do, too.
In my opinion telling someone to not recommend that resource is paramount to saying:
Its the same thing.
Also - Didn't you just point out that there isn't a dedicated 405th thread that is equal to providing that help? You just said that maybe one should be started. Also a cool idea-Yep-Go for it-build it. But don't don't tell someone:
That's really just saying "let them flounder with no help rather than provide a good outside resource."
We're not in the business of letting people founder.
So how about this... Let the reader make up their own mind rather than censor the advice given? You make your recommendations and other people can make theirs, and the reader can be trusted to make their own choices for themselves. That seems the most respectful to the member asking the question-To me anyway.
