I agree with Jack.  If he's willing to put himself out there, and has all=
 the answers, then, hey, anyone who wants to get out there and help should=
 be commended no matter how many answers he may have compared to everyone=
 else.  What I hate is when I ask for help for something that should be=
 simple, and rather than get an answer regarding something I need help=
 with, I get questions as to why the heck I want to do a certain thing, or=
 I get no help at all.  So, Jack, whether you are the one with all the=
 answers or not, the fact that you are putting yourself out there to help=
 should say something about how good a person you are.

criticism, and very short on help.  And if that line hurts a little, maybe 
there's a reason.  I'm done posting.  Enjoy your controlled environment.
