...........How long should it take a starter to become a guru and start answering question on a mailing list like this ??
When you get over the fact that you don't know everything, and start to help people in spite of your own trepidation, you become an asset. Gurus are rare and precious. I work with true gurus (PERL gods, NFS wizards, and the like), but I listen carefully when they talk and take in all that I can. When somebody asks a question, I think about all of the things I've learned in the last five years, and consider the problem they are having. If I have a solution that has worked for me or sounds like it *might* work for them, I give my account and advice. Once in a while, I get one right :). -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
