It's merely an understanding that doing carpentry well involves -not- mashing one's fingers with a hammer.You mean like not poking your finger into the wall socket, or in the fire, unless you're 2? I'm not sure how to parse your comment. But in case you are wondering, I am talking about network engineering, which is not common sense. Mark.
Well, I take the point of his comment to be not being curious to the point of inadvertantly doing damage to something that you were better off leaving alone until you found someone who could clue you in to the particulars. There are plenty of network engineers out there who, in going about their job--and especially when trying out new features, figuratively mashed their figures with that hammer. Curiosity, yes, but also self-discipline. -Wayne --- Wayne Bouchard web () typo org Network Dude http://www.typo.org/~web/
