I remember I once heard " If you like something in this program, steal it" or something to that effect. Examples are a technique, a saying, a teaching method, etc. Many times when browsing working on the forum, I'll come across little tidbits of information or inspiration and either cut,copy paste to my computer or at least remember where they were, and if all else fails, I'll use the search tool. Later on, I'll come across something that reminds me of the previous tidbit and I'll drag it out and post for benifit of all.
