Honestly, Steve, I'm a Technet addicted for about six months and I learn more and more each day. However, there's one thing I learned the very first day: I'm light years from you guys. The names you throw like nothing are like little gods in the business, so I take full advantage of their on-line expertise. Common, you cannot ask me to compete with them. On the other hand I never miss an opportunity to ask when I run into trouble. You know, it's important to participate, not to win.
