While lil' pecker does mention a few good points. Anyone reading it may want to consider he's has also mentioned delivering pizzas and playing the ukelele at hotel bars for his income. (not that there is anything wrong with that) And then there is this journal of his. verisi

Just to show I am not a complete jerk, here is a small sample of what you can find by using the SEARCH feature. This is not a comprehensive list, because why should I do the work for you?

You can see in the links the words I used to get the results. One thing to note is that when I was looking for one thing, I ran into several other unrelated, but useful info. That is another good reason for you to use the Search before you leave this website. You can see how many links are there with the word "mentor" in it, although the results have nothing to do with mentoring.

Typical newbie questions and threads answering them:

Thanks for the warm welcome, I placed my $3.45 in the honesty box by the tea and coffee. You have already answered a number of my questions via the search option and saved me the embarrasment of asking said stupid question. Great website and I'm sure a useful resource moving forward. X
