Title: Can I help in anyway?
Post by: Matt2matt2002 on March 16, 2013, 10:34:14 AM

Just been looking through my posts here and realised it has been a one way trip.

I have always been asking (and receiving) advice.
Never offering (well, rarely)

So it's about time to change all that.

I happen to be quite a good juggler, so if anyone here needs advice or tuition, please contact me and I can redress this shamefull in-balance.

What a kind offer to the Forum Matt

I used to be able to juggle a bit many years ago but never managed to get past about 10 revolutions before things started to go terribly wrong. I am not sure juggling is something you can learn on a correspondense course but the offer is appreciated.

You will find with the forum it is all a case of experience and before you know it you will be answering as many questions as you are asking.

Thanks Matt,

However, I too was a juggler.  Thanks to Andre I acquired the services of a drink server.  However, that only lasted for one drink.  Now I am back to getting my own jug.

Thanks, Matt, for your kind offer to all. It speaks volumes in a positive way about your character.

As it happens, these things have a way of balancing out over time; the helped become the helpers.

We've all been "starters" at some point, then "got good" by various means, mostly by experience.

The best way I can suggest to help at all levels of expertise is to be supportive of others, to answer what questions you can, and to put yourself in the other person's place. You've done all three nicely with this one post and offer!  ;D

Remember, the only dumb question is the one left unasked!

All the best,

Dan. (...who is usually juggling waaaaay too many things at once)

Thanks Dan,

I'll have to go over all that stuff in the near future and find what interesting things I can in trouble with! ;)

Yep. Videos exceed the upload size limit for attachments, so the best approach is to post it to YouTube or Vimeo, then link back to it here.

Looking forward to any you might produce!

Best,

Dan.
