If I can say one thing for Verbot, it was that s/he taught me to RTFM. In no small part because I had no idea why this stupid thing seemingly wasn’t working, but also because I sincerely wanted to get the most out of the bucket of bolts.

I’ve always regreted my dismantling of Verbot. Given the patience I learned with a refurbished Pack Bell and Windows 3.1, I’m certain my approach these days would be significantly different.
