experience is something we all ONLY get by doing something, but that doesn't mean we cannot learn a LOT about a subject mater LONG before doing any of it!
heck to be honest I would rather a person reward and learn all they can about something before trying to do it
it will get them leaps and bound ahead of those that know nothing about what there trying to do!
Nothing replaces hands on experience, but knowledge is power folks, like it or not!
this site is becoming pretty unwelcome to new members it seems!(go ahead bash on me, I can take it LOL)
