So, how could this be made easy for a newbie?


The Scripting Conference stacks were created years ago with the idea of 
presenting LC to new users, and I think they do it more conceptually 
than individual tutorials. The stacks are old now and many of the newer 
features are not discussed, but for basic overall understanding of the 
card/stack metaphor and how everything relates to it, they are still useful.


There was a short period where volunteers were asked to help update the 
material but not much more than a few visual changes got done. Still, 
all the ideas presented remain valid and I think the series is useful. 
It assumes no previous expericence with LC and teaches the reader from 
ground zero.


With those caveats in mind, you may want to point your volunteer to 
these stacks, which are most useful when viewed in order:

I am reading this thread on the web and I find two other threads (by Ray
Horsley-2) entangled with this one. What is going on? Do others see this?

I see it in my current email client. There are several people on the 
list wose habit is to start new topics by replying to a message in a 
current thread rather than starting a new thread by posting a "new" 
message. Whether or not this results in disorganization or other issues 
is dependent on how (which email client or web interface) you view the 
list. Many email clients sort lists by subject rather than by the 
message ID in the headers, so not everybody is affected. I mentioned 
this once not too long ago and it didn't generate much response in 
general nor a positive response from those who do it.

Ah, that must be it!
I don't see it too often, but now and again a thread has different subject
titles for different messages in it! As I start reading them without really
looking at the subject line each time, a message makes no sense to me and I
feel I have fallen down a rabbit hole!

Sri
