Editor's Notes
First check the grey matter. By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Then reference manuals? Books - no, local documentation – yes – later…
Check with your colleagues. Don’t e-mail them on the next desk – ask!
