I know this pops up every so often around here and I hate to chime in
with a "me, too", but this list is an absolutely invaluable resource.
My thanks to all the seasoned programmers who lend the voice of
experience, the whiners who manage to get things pushed forward, and
the newbies who ask the dumb questions I wish I'd asked. I'd *really*
be floundering without this list.

Me too. ;)

Before Kevin became distracted with little things like running the company <g>, he was among the most regular contributors to the MC list where all this began. Without his excellent post on arrays (not all that different from the one I just posted) I might still be floundering (if you think Rev's docs are subpar you should have seen the Read Me that comprised most of what we had to work with to learn new features in MetaCard).

A lot of folks I know post here on a sort of "pay it forward" principle: we've gotten a lot of help from others in the past, and feel obliged to return that favor to others. A lot of the programming community is like that. I honestly believe that NNTP predating HTTP reflects the values and focus of the tech community.

Kevin's ability to explain things well has helped me often, and it's one of the reasons I have confidence in RunRev's ability to be responsive to good requests for enhancement to the docs.
