Okay! Thanks, everybody, for all the helpful advice.
Kevin, I've posted my apology & insights on: http://lion.taoriver.net/?p=11 I'll take Mike Orr's advice, and journal about what I find easy or hard, what I have difficulty finding, and techniques / insights / workarounds I figure out. And maybe I should heed Michele, and also post them to the wiki, as public domain artifacts? It's hard to know where to post these days, what with blogs, mailing lists, and wiki to decide between! But perhaps I should just cross-post. Oh, and trac. ;) Again, thanks everyone. :)
