It is often "flying in the dark" to teach anything to strangers, and getting the message and audience matched is the secret to creating "meaning", which is what we all want. We want things to mean something. It helps to question, to point out contradictions, to shine light into the corners, etc. and it is a positive contribution to progress. So keep right on. By offering a critique, the student lets the teacher know how he is doing. I think Jim would be the first to tell you that feedback is essential to improvement, for everybody! It is the fearful, silent, unquestioning audience that slows the machinery down, and you are to be commended for voicing a point! ('course, it is not my ox getting gored, so I don't want to appear to be sitting on the sidelines shouting "Flame'em all!" (:)}}} Regards, Ed Foote
