Barry, Dennis,
Your feedbacks are encouraging.
It's better that TJ spend time to create than to teach to beginners.
Excel's active community get me started to enter the programming
world. But copy and paste don't give methods and know-how as a real
programmer, it takes time to enter medium level.
AB is fascinating even for people with a poor skill, it gives the
sentiment to progress thanks to the forum.
Best regards
