Could we get ahi to teach us about the fine points of typography? I'm not sure I know very much about the blunt points yet... can't improve if I don't know what to aim at.

How about a few self-help type talks from members here:

Montsnmags: How to Maintain your Sanity
Zelda_Pinwheel: How to Avoid Spending all your time on Internet Forums
Pilotbob: PDF's on e-readers - why they are the best solution
JSWolf: Subtlety, a users guide



I'm sure there are others! I may do one myself on avoiding sarcasm as the lowest form of wit.
