Fellows,

I'd have to agree with Lynn's thoughts. There are surely other threads that show how to do various things on the site. But as he says one problem with them is that they won't be in the "How To" format which includes inline pictures, complete description, and most importantly are moderated and do not have thread digression since "How To" articles are not open for posting.

We do need more "How To" articles though, that is for certain. Many people over the years and even recently have asked me to make a section like this on the forum. But once it was done I'd have to say I've been disappointed in the response that Lynn has received with respect to authored contributions. While a few of Lynn's topics are non-SPF related, he has an SPF and most of them are going to be SPF specific. I agree with a few of the folks that have PMed/emailed me about having more marquee specific coverage and topics, but folks have to actually write the articles.

So if you want to be famous and have some good tech to bring, write up a How To article and get it over the Lynn!

Best,
Ron
