It is basically my second job and I only do it because a) I freakin love it, win or lose and b) I usually make money (now)! I am not even close to infallible and still make mistakes, so don't put me on a pedestal by any means! Even Spatky, our best poster ever (imho), made ssome real humdingers at times, and nit because of a lack of research that's for sure.
You'll get there mate, just keep hitting the books and building that experience every single day. Who knows, maybe you'll be teaching me some stuff soon. I sure don't know everything, and it would be a weird day if I didn't learn something new :)
Moulding yourself from your own clay from your own experiences is always better than copying the "masters" ;)
