Roy I would gladly cowrite with you....I have great respect for all fellow JPFs......even the ones I argue with. I am also in favour of live and let live. That said I also follow the mantra that we should be all we can be..... that sometimes includes learning things that are hard to learn and straying well outside our own comfort zone.
People all have gifts and talents and we should exploit our strengths and try to improve weaknesses......I believe in taking shortcuts if they are available.......BUT we should at least understand how to do the job properly in the first place. It is bound to help and improve our strengths.
