Re: The anonymator arrives

I've long learned that all of us think everyone else knows everything and we
are the only idiot in the room.

As my mother used to kindly say, "Dumber people that you have figured this
out."

Here is the encouragement that the anonymator received already:

I will recall this graceful way of covering of my own difficulty in keeping
up with the fast changing methods and practices, which does indeed make me
feel stupid! -- Anon

You mean people didn't believe me when I said "I have a friend..." ? --Anon

Dear Anonymator, Thank you! We welcome your arrival. --Anon

oh right like anyone in their right mind would trust you!! --Anon

Thanks Debra. I'm one of those people who thinks his questions are "dumb."
--Anon

I for one have no problem asking stupid questions --Anon

I am very much looking forward to connecting with this group as I am a web
editor by necessity rather than by training. --anon

The anonymator sounds like a great idea. I too don't post to webnet because
I am so new to all of this that I'm sure some of my questions are of the
pre-K level. This is a great idea. --anon
