Makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'm overworring. I think I sometimes impress my
own traits upon other others. In this instance being cheap and thinking that
I know more than I actually do. A user like me would cheap out and jump
right to intermediate, then get on everyone's last nerve asking questions
and arguing that I didn't nee that kiddie stuff anyway! ;-)
