On behalf of the rest of the Lua list, apologies to you Richard. Also apologies to "agricultural workers" for Horowitz' arrogant comments (he should try managing a financially successful farm sometime ;-).
This list is usually a friendly and helpful place. Let's keep it that way.

Subject: Re: how best to get started?
Thanks to everyone except Horowitz.
By the way, if you haven't tried it and if you'd like a few exercises in
patience, Horowitz, you might try writing, designing, and indexing a
200,000+ word technical manual; then try writing a novel or two; and in your
spare time, teach yourself how to program while learning how to do
commercial airbrush and digital illustration -- and get at least good enough
that you've found people and companies willing to pay you good money for
each of these endeavors.
My patience may not be what it used to be, as I implied, but it used to be
far more than most people ever have.
I am admittedly new to the list, but I hardly think it was appropriate to
tell me I'm not going to make it and was surprised to see such a response on
the list. Some folk, apparently, are far too quick to judge.
