Why did I not realize that before?

I said this in my post above:

You know that between the open string and the 12th fret is an octave and that each note occurs once in an octave. There are 12 chromatic notes in the octave (12 frets).

Didn't anybody read that?

Sorry...rereading this, it sounds a bit harsh, which was not my intention. I am curious when I see this in threads - somebody says something, then a number of posts later, somebody else says the same thing and suddenly it is insightful, where the first time it was said, it went unnoticed. I have seen this enough times to make it seem worthwhile to comment on, rather than that I feel it only happened to me. It is just one of those curious aspects of forums, I guess. It seems as if people don't really read the posts that came before.

Oh, one other thing...EllaMom, don't you take lessons from Steven King? What is his take on learning the fretboard?
