Yeah I guess I will always hang around. It helps me too. Only I don't read all the posts. I try to skim the subject and open and read the first couple of lines. If it looks too much of a trigger, I close without going on further.
Yeah what you have written makes sense. I think I also said that in some other post here before. Real learning does come from teaching and helping others.
There are lots of stuff I do realize from what other people go through and trying to solve the problem. Only I wish it were little less emotionally taxing.
Thanks 10derheart.

Not always the pure subject matter (because we'd tend to already know it, that's why we're teaching) but some new part of it, or how true or correct it is, or even in something they say back to us as they try to learn, we realize another aspect...
