I think the list is a great place to go if I have no clear idea of how to t=
hread my way through googleland to an answer i suspect exists.  No one on t=
he list is forced answer me or waste their time.  If they do answer, they c=
an save me a great deal of time.  This is the smartest list I know of.  Som=
etimes I will ask a question here that people on another list are flailing =
around about and then post the PIClist answer on the other list.

I learn a lot from reading Olin's posts .... both technically and socially =
and psychologically.  I have changed some of my behaviours as a result.  Ha=
s anyone on the list physically met Olin ?  Does he talk to people in perso=
n the same way he does on the list ?
