Thanks Don,

I was just thinking of posting if anyone had compiled a list of all the mistakes in the P6 SM ... but you beat me to it!

Thanks a lot for this. I'm about to dig into my P6, but I don't have a ton of tech experience so mistakes in the SM can really set me back a while before I realize the source of the confusion.

Cheers,
James
