Congrats' o all with 20 or more assignments.
As for you not there yet, Read, Learn, Post and ask questions and don't give up.
Things are coming around for me slowly, but they are getting there. I have about 75 assignments inder my belt since I joined I.P.I.U. in August 2004. My prior experience did help, but I.P.I.U. is helping me put myself on the PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR MAP.
