@theluthier Aha, that clears some things up, thanks. I don’t believe anyone here has any intentions of flexing, it’s more so the concern that their skill will be misinterpreted as such. CGCookie – especially as a learning environment – is by far one of the most relaxed and friendly teaching platforms I’ve seen and we all want that to be maintained, but as you said it’s more than likely easy enough to sniff out the ne’er-do-wells, which is thankful because I’m rather dim when it comes to that haha.
I definitely agree with the proposition @charmn-one made, it seems like a great way to help out fellow students and personally, with the desire to be a VA, this would go hand-in-hand with that. Even last month, which was considerably more advanced, had a vast amount of helpful advice and solutions to problems (which thanks again to you all by the way, really got me out of some scrapes), so I believe us as a community are more than capable of being an asset to the teaching process.
