I wouldn't say "instant", exactly. You have to put the work in, you may have to do some rooting around and be receptive to following up links that may not seem too relevant, and you have to have put thought and effort into creating the notes and links in the first place. And that comes from reading and thinking. The rooting around can be fun as well as productive, though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
