Wow Please!!!  Slow Down!!!

The article that I responded to was from sheldon@atlcom.net (Sheldon
Simms) and concerned roughly how he taught himself computers and
programming (which is the same as I've mentioned about myself in past
posts) and how some people think that by asking a single question,
obtaining a single response and implementing it can do what some have
invested years to learn!

By the magic of UseNet I didn't even see your original query or know
what Sheldon was responding to!  I'm sorry if I've "fallen" into the
middle of a sensitive subject!
