tlm++!

Couldn't agree more with you. Your analogies are perfect!

I agree that XP is a very appealing feature of PM, but it's not the only key to the success of it (at least for me). Two of the things that I really enjoy here is the level of knowledge I often get and the number of questions that I haven't asked that are extremely useful for me (someone once noticed this too, a long time ago).

Best regards,
