He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not remains a fool forever. -Mark twain-

Always feel free to ask me anything, and I really do mean ANYTHING. By asking, we learn. For the next several weeks we are all a team. So please ask away (-: ¡Don't be shy!, because in a second I will be asking you some questions of my own.

Do you have any questions?
