I wished someone had given me that particular piece of advice a couple of decades ago.

On the other hand if you don't show some restraint you end up being buried in paper and lugging way too much of it around--which I did when I was younger.

Likewise. I used to possess a hand-written letter from Sophie Wilson (of Acorn/ARM fame) replying to my own hand-written query letter at around 1981 when I was 16 and learning to program my Acorn Atom.
