      I'm thinking of writing a tip. My past tips have not gone so well, they don't get a lot of views or votes and the votes are not so great, I don't think the tip is all that bad. I think a tip should be be a short bit of experience you can offer, not a full article. What are your thoughts? What makes a good tip?

        Maybe your tips just suck.

                Actually, I'm a bit mental... I'm a mentor everywhere. People look to me as an example (what kind of example is totally dependent on the situation).
