I think you could class this question in with other philosphical questions like "How deep is a hole?"...
I am not sure that I could put into mere words all of the ways that IIS has helped me.
#1 It has helped me become a better observer through helpful hints and suggestions of others
#2 It has helped me learn about new gear and how to better express my opinons about it
#3 It has helped me find some friends that share a common passion (in this instance the night sky)
#4 It has helped me reach out to others to share my opinon and reinforce that it has worth.
