Re: How To Use ChiefDelphi Constructively In Order To Reap And Sow Value

It's been brought to my attention that my title may be confusing because I placed reap ahead of sow. One must sow seeds in order to harvest or reap. This is true but, in this case, I placed reap ahead of sow for a reason. Here's the reason:

If one is new to an experience and uncertain as to the depth of their know-how, wisdom, knowledgeable applications, expertise - and there is a place that is teeming with it but the person/team isn't quite sure how to tap into that and use the resources available - then they have to learn to reap. When they have learned to reap: use CD-Media, search, the different forums, edit, learn how to discuss topics appropriately - then they can become efficient in sowing.

My thinking is - why waste seeds? We see a lot wasted seeds in CD that have been scattered carelessly or hastily. Here's an opportunity to help them take root.

So, that's the thinking behind the reap before sow = cart before horse.
