So, who's an expert?

    So who's an expert? Sometimes I think the definition of an expert really is "a person at least a day's travel from home."

    So who's an expert? Sometimes I think the definition of an expert really is "a person at least a day's travel from home." Here, we are trying to make the final tweaks on our Ask the Expert pages at ControlGlobal.com.

This is likely to be a significant new resource for the process automation professional, if we can only figure out how to jigger the software to allow it to happen. Stop by and ask him a question. Comments?
