And we all look to Andy and Del. :-) Well, there are some things I specifically know; some whose answers I know how to look for; and some which are in situational categories. I do stay out of areas where I have no expertise, such as virtual volumes and SANs. But in so many questions, it is the information that so many on the List contribute based upon their own areas of learning that help get answers so quickly. Kind of like having a giant, networked mind. (Visions of a weird 1950s sci-fi movie...) I think I honed a lot of skills in the pre-Internet days, when I had to dig deep for my own answers. (Get the kids away from the TV and into books.)
