damion75 0 #1 April 16, 2004 I think one of the strange things about this site is the diveristy of posters - looking over the threads we have all sorts: Lawyers, policemen, students (lots of!!) of just about every subject, maths/physics teachers, soldiers, finance gurus...and lots more. I reckon you could get advice on just about everything on here as well as skydiving! And do we trust that advice? Hell I don't know but it is a starting point! So what are you good at? What can you advise people about?(my answer to this question is unfortunately that very little of the professional advice I could give would be useful to any of you!! Unless you shoot down aircraft on a regular basis...)*************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.

Vertifly 0 #2 April 16, 2004 Always said that I would never be an EXPERT in any one thing. But I know a lot of shit about many different things... well, enough to survive and prosper. I'd feel comfortable giving advice on these few things (and more): construction work, computers, cooking, freeflying, personal philosophy, business and money management, health and fitness, travelling to certain places, and the list is growing.
