Yeah, have you made SMF cliff notes yet? For the rest of us?

I think it would be great if there was a mini-diploma you could print off.
It should read: "Graduate of the School of Hard Knocks, BS (a lot of BS) in Scrapology, Emphasis in Knuckle Busting"
Maybe a mini-trophy!

I hope he's okay and didn't overload his brain. Lots of data here!

I must say, yours is an admirable goal. All joking and having a good time aside, I think you will probably learn 250% MORE than you started with. I wish you the best of luck.

Happy Scrapping !!!

I think it's an uncomfortable issue for some people, I notice it when many posts start with "I've searched ect ect but can't find it, so.."
people apologising for posting?
ridiculous, this is a forum, a forum works when people get involved, to say go search for everything, well why not just say google it!
If all the info is already out there then what is the point of a forum?
surely it is just a database then? may aswell just put up a website with exactly how to scrap things and be done with it, no need for a forum at all.

That is because a lot of people (and I am guilty of this as well), just find it much easier to post a new thread with a question, then type a couple of words into the forum search box.

No one really cares that people ask questions, but what everyone gets tired off sometimes, is the same mundane questions that have already been asked and covered 20, or more times.
