punch_card_don,
This is a hard question to answer. If you are asking if I was taught in school, the answer to that would be a resounding no. I barely graduated highschool and never matriculated into college. On the other hand, I believe I have gotten an equivalent high-priced education hanging out here at the Monastery. There is nothing wrong with a little hubris and to be honest, I believe I am a fairly competent hacker. As you can see from Road map woes, my self-taught programming was not in the same playing field. So while I haven't formerly been taught, I certainly owe my education to others and not necessarily myself. Cheers - L~R
