Anyone who looks down on someone for not knowing everything yet ... well,
has an attitude that would benefit from adjustment.  None of us were born
knowing this stuff.  It takes time.  Many of us -- I certainly among them
- -- have problems with *claims* that something is period, when it clearly
is not.  But "This is what I'd do; can anyone tell me whether any of it
is on target?" is another matter, and worth anyone's respect, both for the
ingenuity involved in doing *anything*, and for the honesty and intent
to learn.

Hoping people will not be put off by not being perfect yet; God knows I'm
not.

Cheers,
