Thanks.  I haven't used Plesk for years.  I got over my fear of 'being  
responsible for it' and started building things the way I thought they  
ought to be.  But there was a period of years in the beginning when I  
wasn't able to do that, and I'm glad there were options available for  
me at that time, even if I outgrew them.

"Learn it all or don't use it" isn't realistic, even for people who  
are motivated and reasonably intelligent.  I was motivated for sure.   
Intelligence is debatable sometimes... :)  It takes a while to acquire  
the knowledge to do things well, and sometimes you get thrust into  
being responsible for things you never expected.  I doubt I'm the only  
one who's followed that kind of career path.
