&gt; Similarly things like the standard scenarios you all seem to know
&gt; and love which I haven't quite tracked down yet (it seems very few
&gt; of them are in the FAQ). When people say things like "this is a
&gt; Dragon's Dinner situation" it's completely meaningless unless you
&gt; know what that scenario is. However, I appreciate that whereas I
&gt; recognise the term "race condition", many people will not.

It would be great if someone undertook the task of collecting a list 
of the various scenarios, their names, the reasons for their
existance, their solutions, the weaknesses of their solutions etc...

&gt; I also find the qualifications and experience of some of the
&gt; posters here very humbling, no way I'm going to contradict
&gt; them. I've made a fool of myself in the usenet groups a couple of
&gt; times and have no intention of repeating it here. :)

None of use are God (or at least not as of last I checked).
