Echoing some other posts a bit: my problem is that I see silly things happening over and over again and I find that telling people doesn't help. Every generation appears to have to learn the same lessons again the hard way. It's a bit depressing. I made some of these mistakes. I didn't have anyone to help me avoid them. Now I can help but .... I cannot help. Only after the balls up and even then often not.
