Is tech republic’s user base being watered down?

Hi all,

Not to be derogatory, but I’ve been using TR for maybe 6 years off and on. Definately more off than on over the past couple of years. Am I wrong in my perception that the majority of technical questions posted here are less than challenging? I mean, have any of you asking these quite simple questions ever heard of Google? A few years ago, folks didn’t even ask simple questions like the one I saw today, from an “IT Department Manager”, about how do I start the print spooler? Just wondering is all, i may have missed a memo somewhere. Did all the talent head off to Experts Exchange or TR’s paid service? Thanks, just curious.
