No way! Folk are very happy to accept anything done for them - not so interested in doing anything - Folk would say 'Yes', even if they did not know if they would use the material much in that form.
The kind of responses you would get would still be an indicator of real interest.

The users of my site are interested in the material I provide - generally they have (like many Apple users ) no interest or ability in the technical side of things - fair enough - but it doesn't help me
True for most users, on any site. Sies spend a lot of time and effort making it as easy as possible for visitors to find and access content without having to know the technical details.

I, sadly, am too old to learn much technical depth. A little bit of html, reg-ex, macros is my limit.
HTML, regex, and macros is a good starting point.
