Unanswered posts

I took a few hours yesterday and went through all the unanswered forum posts, looking for ones I could answer. I found probably 30 and answered them. In a few cases I didn't have an exact answer, just a tid bit, but I managed to attract other members to post a full solution.

There are quite a few left in there, so I thought I'd post this .plan to try and encourage people to read through them and answer the ones they can. I also noticed a few other people answering posts, specifically Anthony Rosenbaum and Donald Harris... I'm sure there's others. I just noticed these two and wanted to show my respect. Keep up the good work guys :)

What do you get for doing this? Well, you get to waste lots of time helping others (better helping other people then watching tv or whatever) and you get to learn things you wouldnt otherwise.

AND... you get a chance to win a special prize... I know I signed an NDA but I just had to leak it. :)
