Glad to help. On the salary cap, I work in the finance field, so I think I can grasp the concepts because they sound somewhat similar to the way things are accounted for in business. Terms like prorating and allocation are second nature to me. Plus, since I'm a numbers guy, my eyes actually don't glaze over and go crosseyed when reading one of John Clayton's salary cap analyses. So I just ended up reading a lot of those types of articles over the last 5 years or so.

CrazyCanuck is also very helpful on this site with that stuff. I learned a fair amount from him too, looking at his salary cap spreadsheets.
