Absolutely Neil. Rather than being told what I should be better at (which
concindentally always seems to be exactly what the person telling me is
actually really into themselves), why not find out what I do and supply me
with something that actually helps... or indeed leave me alone because I'm
already doing it. In fact, now I come to think of it, did I actually ask for
any help ? :-)
