Nah. Mark: don't stop asking questions; I've learned stuff myself from some
of the answers. If you haven't already, jump on IRC (Freenode, #squeak) and
ask stuff there too.

I'm not sure there's a common lingo in the community for talking about
exceptions. Personally, I haven't used them as much as I should and I think
that applies to most Smalltalkers.

"signal" can be a bit confusing because we also signal semaphores.
