		Yes, Jeff.  I would agree completely with you.  But
remember, in knowledge is power.  To hold knowledge upon oneself places that
person in a position of power over others of lesser fortune.  There ARE no
dumb questions, just unasked ones.  We should all be mentors to others who
need our assistance.  People who do not believe this are not worth our time
and effort.  Never be afraid to post to the server any question.
Professionals of good conscience will always be ready to help. ( People
cannot reach through the monitor and grab you.)

		Always do right.  This will gratify some people, and
astonish the rest.

				As for this comment, I have but one thing to

that is not asked."?  There are

limited knowledge in certain

what not to do if they are
				afraid of asking because they will get
slammed on RAD SAFE by someone else.
				In the military, the lower ranking, less

thought that this was one of the
				reasons RAD SAFE was started.
