It is really hard to choose a thread, because there are so many that had so much wonderful information and inspiration (including those above).
For a boost to my confidence though, I liked the newbie mistakes thread. It really helped me relax when I realized that some people who are so far above me made some of the same mistakes that I did!

I don't have a lot of tips, but it helped me to slow down and relax about the glass when I began listening to books on tape while I torched.
