> How does one bring the teacher a virtual apple?
>
I realize that this was a rhetorical question.
But, how about responding to threads on the forum if one thinks
that they might have the answer.
It takes the load off of any single moderator, gives one the
opportunity to look into areas that s/he might not otherwise have
experimented with, and forces him/her to challenge their own
understanding by transferring their idea to the written word.
Thankfully, we have many excellent contributors among the group.
Picking any thread at random will more often than not reveal a
genuine question followed by a legitimate attempt at an answer.
Frustrated posts, though unfortunate, are the exception rather than
the rule.
And, of course, the ultimate apple is the act of buying the next
release of the software!
