https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/ -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user <gnucash-user-bounces+john.layman=ieee....@gnucash.org> On Behalf Of G R Hewitt Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2023 9:00 AM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Please don't double post Well I suppose if you are a techno-person with 60 or more different tech sites, that would make sense. But I don't suppose that most users of Gnucash are, and are likely Accountants, Book-keepers, SME owners, sole-traders and people doing their home accounts. I dare say what goes on under the bonnet is likely of little interest to such, just so long as the software works. An excellent example of support forum for users that springs to mind is that of the the Affinity Design software group, that can get pretty technical and is easy enough to follow.
