Hi Mom , (Bill)
I had taken a study course and one of the main concepts is that in
any subject, read all you can on that subject. before you get to the
last book you will probably know more than many of the writers!
This true of any subject.
I would add to your post a few notes.
For anybody ready to ask a question, go back and search for that
topic. at nearly 40,000 posts, the chances are it has been covered
in detail.
A note on searches, to those new to yahoo, only the last few hundred
posts are searched. so you MUST hit the NEXT button to search the
next few hundred posts.
READ EACH POST from those results, it is rare, but occasionally
someone is either asleep at the switch and post something wrong and
is immediately corrected on the next few posts, or more information
is added in the resulting discussion.
And if you are very new, DEFFINATELY go to all the links on the home
page. This will increase your broad scope of what is going on and
what is being done.
Dave
p.s.: I personally enjoy a little diversion OCASIONALLY once a month
is max, i.e.: Nicole's recent thread.
also, I don't know if this list has the same policy as some of the
other lists, but one post per month from ACTIVE members advertising
their (your)ON TOPIC page.
is: post 39787 Hobby CNC Free Offer!
I have seen the policy of only on the first days of the month on some
lists.
and lastly, if you have a question that seems dumb to you POST IT, if
it is leaving you in the dark, chances are it is leaving others in
the dark too and as they say there are no dumb questions, only dumb
answers !
