I totally agree. And as John pointed out, it's good to
make mistakes (just not he same ones over and over) as
long as you learn from them. It's the only real way to
learn anything. College knowledge is good, but what
you really should get from any learning experience
(college or real world) is how to avoid the problems
you've faced before and how to deal witht he new ones
that arise.
If we didn't have questions to ask, we wouldn't be
doing our jobs right (though I still will make light
of font fondling woes). ;)
