Baditude- we're all grateful for your generous sharing of your experiences and knowledge base, Thank you once again. My only comment (not criticism) is toward encouraging noobs to learn more: Knowledge = power. How about the reddit style "Explain like Im 5yrs old" vs "Explain it to the dumb Noob". Maybe a guy thing? Great work, again.
