I agree, I think carrie has a great writing ability and also has a
background that would allow the sometime hard to understand information I
present in a more understandable way....  My friends say "Don't teach" but
it's in my blood and I know that I assume too much sometimes and I think
carrie (for example) could point out many "Huh?s" in the writing... But at
the same time I have come from a background that allows me to understand
where many of the "newbies" are coming from...  But that aside I can't help
but feel that cobalt should do more to improve the KB using "inside
information" which stops us from assuming/guessing some of the details that
cobalt has not shared with us....
