Hi Erik, I respect what you say, but disagree strongly. I think one of the first things I do when I meet an instructor I've heard about, is to check out the students. Are they at least on the way to doing what he does? How has he taught them to behave?

I have to remember when I go other places, people (especially instructors) may very well judge my instructor through how he has trained me.

Best,
Ron
