I wish I could name those who helped me, but it's a lot easier to just mention the site as a whole. The reason is because I never actually posted any questions. I just read. A lot. I learned so much just from reading other people's questions and the answers to those. Great site. Loving it even for the stuff outside of the physics forum.

edit: Oh, I tried to post a question once, but in the middle of trying to learn how to use Tex (or whatever it is), I answered my own question. lol
