A very good lesson. :)

What it should teach us all is that even when one is being instructed by a 
teacher, one is also teaching themselves. So, those who learn to teach 
themselves, go far. 

Just because I consider myself 'self taught' does not mean the community did 
not help. Quite the contrary. The community supported me and continues to 
support me in my continued education in the computer industry. Without that 
support, I would not be where I am today. 

My college education is actually in Automotive Technology. When I started 
asking people what good was that, the most common reply was, "You learned how 
to learn." Without that, learning can be quite frustrating.
