Indeed!!!
You, and Pogre... many people make it work. Believe me when I say I've paid attention!
I believe in striking that balance, questing for better understanding, encouraging the learning that leads to a better experience. I guess that's the Chef part of me... I've had to enroll people in a quest to be better than they are. And that's why I like it here!
So many amazing friends here, with great stories to tell. This is a perfect illustration, too. Thank you.
This counterpoint is essential and shows that there are multiple ways to do things. Not just the one way we so commonly see recited. As you point out, I'm just as quick to say that my experience isn't the only way, and that is by design. I can't buck against dogma by creating more. I can, however, push, everyone who is willing, to have a new experience; to try something different. If it helps somebody out, or gets somebody more deeply engaged, then I'll take it as a victory for all of us.
Even if they do still use the front wall or corner loading.
Cheers, Bill!!!
