Nicely done Drabslab!

You had me laughing out loud at times at your wry sense of humour when you describe so succinctly the pitfalls so many of us have walked into. Full marks to your perseverance!

All the best

Thanks Joel, at several times it did not feel so impressive when working on it

Hai Merlin, actually I wrote this for two reasons:

- as conclusion of the groundforces campaign
- as reaction to articles that are written with a "I did everything perfect the first time" attitude.

Well, I certainly don't do everything perfect, not even after 20+ years of experience.

And yep, I hope some readers can enjoy reading this account of failure, maybe identify with it and hopefully learna few new tricks.
