Rude or not, it has absolutely nothing to do with my point, that you are responding to, that because of circumstances, sometimes a person is in the position to learn using the very best. You may think it's a handicap, but I'm sure, except for perhaps Tom S., the rest of the LUG does not. It certainly had nothing to do with the price of waiting tables in Belgium. Learn with what you have available. If it happens to be the best, that's great. If it happens to be the worst, that's great too. You are learning. Jim
