Not even mistakes, sometimes things just don't work, it's people ingenuity I'm interested in. You're right though, I think most of us are almost beyond the how to's , now for the dirt.

Mark I agree with you on this, it sounds like a very good topic, a day to learn from our mistakes. Who here has made some serious mistakes who would like to talk? I think coming with a set of Asterisk Anti-Recipes is probably even more useful at this point with so much info out there than talking about more how to's.
