Reg,

As long as we can accept the risks, "learn by doing" has a lot to be recommended.

Thanks for the kind words. They are all the more meaningful from someone of your experience.

Sam

: Charlie,

: Please speak only for yourself. I don't agree with your description of what
: this site is and isn't. Frankly I lurk for those pearls of wisdom that go
: beyond basics.

: I have a hunch that all who ask questions on this board are not greenhorns
: and we may be missing some good information by discouraging some of these
: projects.

: I don't exactly know what Sam's qualifications are but his input here is
: priceless and superior to most.

: There is a great cowboy quote that says "The quickest way to teach a
: greenhorn is to let him do it his way".

: I personally think there is great value in that.

: Peace,

: Reg
