I hope that Be engineers feel free to jump in on this list with any
comments and criticisms at any time. It might be a little painful to
see a post that essentially reads "Jane, you ignorant slut...". But I'd
rather be called an ignorant slut than actually be one.
I have so much to learn. Please Be engineers (and any other
knowledgable gurus), teach me! I'll listen and learn. And eventually, a
couple of years from now, those of us who have slaved away on this
project will have gained so much knowledge and confidence that *we*
will be the gurus that others look upon with awe and admiration (hehe).
