If it weren't missing a _few_ concepts, that would imply that
Vandevoorde & Josuttis was made about 429 pages too long ;-)

I'm sure Chuck and Bruce would welcome feedback. For the template unit
in particular, I'd suggest pinging Chuck. His contact info is on his
web site: http://www.freshsources.com/

It has been only about, 2 months I've been seriously active here,
after testing the waters only a bit before that (when I first noticed
the existence of the group). As has been painfully obvious, the kind
of skills it takes to post timely, correct responses here on a
consistent basis are not exactly the same as the ones needed for the
kind of classroom instruction I've been doing for a living for the
past fifteen years or so. I don't put my foot in my mouth _anywhere_
as much when I'm teaching one of my courses. I've learned that it is
much easier to answer questions that come up again and again during
repeat presentations of a course (or at least that come up within a
well-treaded-upon context) than it is to anticipate all the relevant
nuances of oft-wide-open questions, or even imagine the context in
which some of these OP's questions were formulated. But it is a skill
I've decided I want to improve upon, and the current downturn in
on-site training activity has given me the opportunity to try and do
that.

I've acquired a humble appreciation for the excellence some of the
regulars here have been exhibiting, and hope I my signal/noise ratio
levels off somewhere in their league...
