Don't be awed. I know what I know. I make up a lot of it on the fly
;-)
I definitely make mistakes. Just 'coz I say it doesn't make it so.
And we all learn from our mistakes. Which means if I make a goof like
I did above, I should get called on it. And if I'm totally off base or
posting on a hunch (which I'll usually qualify), it's often to get
someone _else_ to post with a "this is how it really is" comment.
I've been learning from the 'Net for 17 years. Great resource.
Peace.
