True to an extent yet the old adage of "see one, do one, teach one"
still holds so whilst information is disseminated widely it is still
done through contact with the holder of the experience of the
procedure.
In IT we have a much greater opportunity to let the information needed
be spread far and wide as following a text when hacking is easier then
trying to do an op whilst looking at the pretty pictures.

Please do and try to avoid the total bullcr*p of jealously guarding
