Be nice to Clint…we may be working for him one day.

I for one am thankful for the kind people in my career who took time to answer open-ended questions I already knew would take a lifetime to answer.

I wanted to hear their opinions.

Many of these patient saints gave valuable time…and suffered more imposition than pixels on a bulletin board that no one forced them to respond to.

And yes, many of the folks even rode shotgun in my metaphoric Pinto that — many times — barely sputtered out of the driveway.

(cue patriotic music)

So go for that landspeed record Clint. I bet you learn much more pushing your Pinto than if you sat at home reading all the “right” articles in the sports car/cinematographer magazines. Wait…did i mix metaphors??? i’m confused…

(Music builds to stirring finish, then stings out.)

Excuse the rant, but you gotta start somewhere. Like I’m starting here…

From lurker to ranter in one fell swoop…

cheers!
