Tutor wise i unno, im kinda developed in that area; however I feel if u treat it socatically then u would school me just as much as i have the potential to school you...so its more symbiotic. I can get down w that too....]

@Rawn MacDon, first, I effin love the usage of "symbiotic", and particularly in context of this topic. Absolutely bro - ya'll will see that while I am taking a charge to get things going, I am just as ready to be charged up myself. I'm just lookin to establish a foundation for the entire team to build on and grow from --- and the long-term success of this HINGES on how things look if not around.

Like the mantra of the hax0r group Anonymous, a body which exists without a head is much harder to destroy than another which relies on one.

Honestly man, whether it sounds corny or not, the most important thing I've ever learned was to use EVERYTHING as a learning opportunity. Ego, while the fire it produces can be beneficial for swagger when redirected appropriately, is only good for STIFLING growth.

I've made two mistakes in this thread already, and if I could go back I actually would have worded my initial post VERY differently --- made it come across like I was more interested in asserting myself than creating a culture of growth. I "over-corrected" to the shit-talk we've all become so accustomed to from Netcees...lol... Fortunately we've gotten enough interest, and enough heads like you raised points to help me clarify, that we're in a good position to have a great impact on this site and on eachother.

And in the spirit of the 'program' itself, look to everyone involved to provide clear and direct feedback for us to improve the program which is designed to improve the writers in it.

So again, great point - absolutely a socratic environment. The best teachers never cease being a student -- this is just as much about my personal growth as it is my desire to help set the stage for others. I look forward to learning from the vets, semi-vets AND newbies alike (who are sometimes in a better position to teach us something new than those who have been in the box for a minute). Frankly, I learn even more from my 2 year old son than I do most adults I met at this point, sincerely.

But word up, I look forward to learn and grow from you and everyone else in it --- it would be a waste of potential not to. I also look forward to others learning and growing each other, if I am anything more than a "willing contributor and excited participant", than I will eventually become nothing more than a bottleneck.

This environment will be symbiotic in nature just as the best environments in nature themselves. :cool:
