I like to talk about PLCs (shows I am a geek), so I am happy that a forum like this exists. And I get a lot in return by just exchanging information with others. It is also nice to know there are other people out there in the same situation as me, not just the PLC part but also the bit about traveling for work, being responsible for that a machine actually works, being the companys face person onsite, etc.
I am also aware that despite that I know something, but I dont know everything, far from it, so it is great to be able to ask here for me too.
I did think that maybe I would be granted lifetime access to the secret top-member lounge that exists in all the major cities around the world. The one with all the free champagne, caviar and foie-gras (In California it would be immitation foie-gras). I guess not, maybe after 20000 posts then.
