Raistlin, I take my hat off to you for the wisdom and advice contained in your post - the length of it clearly shows the care and concern you have for a fellow human being. To re-type it all after it was wiped in the old board crash just puts an exclamation point on the word
INCREDIBLE!
which describes you to a T.
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him.
He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is a child. Teach him.
He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise. Follow him.
You're definitely in bracket no.3. Gabe, you're probably in no.2 (as I probably am - hope I'm not in no.1!), and you have your entire life to learn!
