The operators are much more likely to have a beneficial depth of knowledge than a website. Unfortunately, you do need to have a community of a certain size in order to sustain a business along those lines.

You missed the memo that states all small businesses are pure as the driven snow and every large corporation is eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.
