 And that attitude really smacks those folks who haven't mastered *any*
techniques and are just trying to learn as they go. It's always been an
"anyone can play" rule-of-thumb as far as presentations go - if you feel
that the group needs some higher level of techincal guidance then by all
means, step up to the plate - but please don't belittle the people who
don't have 30+ years of experience in the field and are trying to learn
what they can.
