After a discussion with my son about " the more you don't tell us -the more we can't help you " he pointed me to this article.

Although aimed at computer programmers and not aimed at chromatographers posting a query . it nevertheless makes many useful relevant points.

Worth a read :-)

That's great! Is it OK if I make it a "sticky"?

Certainly.

It is very relevant to many posts on this forum.

Hi Tom,

GOM's link is beautifully done. May I revise it with the idea of sending it along to Group Owners in LinkedIn?

I don't think you need my permission, but you certainly have it!

In retrospect, I think you're correct; my thanks to you anyhow!
