I see the point about wanting higher level classes, but I don't think restricting to RPT's would solve that problem. What about less experienced RPT's asking beginner's questions? It could happen. I think the issue is in how the class is presented. If the instructor stops for every question, then the level will get brought down. I think THAT'S where the saying "no" should happen. Not at the door to the class. I attended Jim Coleman's "Advanced Aural Tuning", one of only seven courses in Chicago marked "Advanced". And it was. Much of it went by me, but it was wonderful to see one of the greats doing his stuff. And there were plenty of little details I did catch that I can use right now. The point is that Jim didn't need to restrict his class to RPT's to keep it on track. He just kept the class at a pretty high level. I'm sure other Associates like me were there absorbing as much as possible, and not bringing down the level of the class. Charles Neuman
