- hamdingers 15d agoIt takes a rare multi-talented person to do this though. First you have to attain mastery of the craft itself, then you have to master (or at least be competent in) the art of communicating it to others. Some mechanics are just good mechanics, and that's okay.
- HeyLaughingBoy 15d agoHuh. I was actually thinking about him a few days ago. Is he still among the living? I remember posting on PM about 15 years ago asking how to fix a mistake I kept making and he gently smacked me on the head and basically said just learn to do it right in the first place.
