      At 71, I have to document. I started a long time ago. I worked for a mec. contractor long ago, and the rule was: ‘If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen.’ That just carried over to everything I do.

          As in a blog or wiki? I do not because I am not authoritative. What I know came from reading, doing, screwing it up, ad nauseam. When something finally clicks for me, I write it down because 9 times out of 10, I will need that info later. But my writing would be so full of inaccuracies that it would be embarrassing and possibly lead someone astray.
