Mako, pick a topic you think newb's need to know about, and write about it. I'd be excited to see any math formula's you've came up with or found useful, and any other insight someone of you, Greg and Edd's (and others, but I ain't listing that many names!!) can offer.

This going to sound a little like Mary Poppins, but we are all in process, and always will be. Anyone who believes anyone has arrived and there is nothing more to learn has something to learn.

Each of us is a teacher and a student and each of us has concurrent responsibilities to learn and to help others learn. Anybody who disagrees with that needs mentoring for life, as do those who agree with it.

The red flag is flying when you think you have arrived at the pinnacle. Those heights are there to reveal new ones.

Well said, Edd. There are days when I wonder what the heck I do know....especially after reading some of the posts. There is so much knowledge here that is being shared and to be shared.

Even if each one of us posted a tip or trick or something we learned the hard way I am sure we all would find something new or something we used to know/do and have forgotten.

Just call me Mary2 -- frankly--I don't think being
a Mary Poppins is such a bad thing....or Pollyanna either.

1+1=2, but 1 and 1 = 1; 3 and 1 = 1; 4 and 2 = 0
That's logic. (Hint: programmers will know right away what this is. The rest of you will have concluded that I've lost my marbles for sure.)

Sorry, but you left yourself wide open on that one. Wink

Okay. Here's a question for everyone. Where is the threshold? Can an area below the the front door be considered GLA?

I have this great quote running in my head, Mako. But, I cannot remember it exactly, or who said it... maybe Pina Colada can help us out. It goes something like this...

In the future, success will be measured not by what you know, but by how much you can unlearn what you know and learn the new.
