"Maybe we should ask Lobo to make a sticky for hints tips and tricks ??"

I was thinking the same thing.  Many years ago I frequented the Rhino forum and the co-ordinator would post "Command of the Day" type threads on a regular basis.  I think it would be a good idea to start something similar.  Anyone could post their tip or trick, and so long as the only posts were of this nature, then it would be easy to scan through the thread looking for that useful gem of a tip.  It would become cumbersome if there were the usual "great tip", "thanks for the tip", "that was really useful" etc type of replies so the posts would have to be confined just to the tips and tricks.
