it.One, one, one thing I wanna add, and that comes from, you know, the early days when I started to learn Q, um, the original mailing list everyone could see who sent an email to the mailing list.

Now, it was, you know, full with some veterans who have been d- doing Q for a long time, and it always felt intimidating to ask a question out in the wild.

And then, you know, the imposter syndrome, wondering whether everyone is gonna laugh about you and think you are stupid.

So Jake actually made the mailing lists anonymous.

So whenever you send a email to it, unless you have a signature on your Gmail address like I do [laughs] no one will actually see who sent it.

So, um, but that's a good way to ask your question without worrying whether you're gonna be exposed for asking something stupid, even though there are no stupid questions, only the ones not asked.
