I fully agree. Although I'm always surprised by the number of EXTREMELY
active participants on crafts and recipe lists who cheerfully acknowledge
that they use the computers at work, this sort of list is very beneficial
to one's career. No matter how hard we try when working independently,
most of us perform infinitely better with available online
feedback/resources than when working in a vacuum.
