an informal 'senior' group

As strange as this post may seem, I am going to go ahead and post it anyway, as I'm like that at times...;)

I have many of the senior users in this forum on IM.  I also keep in contact with many other, what I call, power users, primarily on IM.  For me, this has been nothing short of a godsend, as help with complex questions, or areas I am not very skilled in, is simply a click away.  Part of this is also being available  to share and answer questions for others, as it is often a two way street- who wants to keep helping those who don't give back?
