Steve - I just put together a "checklist" (motivated by an off-line
conversation with Chuck and by the first meeting with the San Diego Study
Group-"hey dudes! I know you're lurking out there!") from the R/S blueprint
that I'd be willing to share with you and the rest of the list. Warning:
the checklist is still in evolution, you can use it to your best advantage
and customize it, but I'm using it as both my self-assessment guide (Excel)
and study guide (Word).
(In other words, it still has lots of gaps in it, but I'll be filling those
in as my studying progresses)
