Del, 

I've really enjoyed your input on this forum. Actually I've saved quite a
few of your comments for future review and use. With this latest concise
report on soundboards I would very much like to use this as material to show
some of my customers what a real expert has to say about their longevity,
etc. May I do so? Please respond privately per above. 
 Also missed seeing you at the convention, understand you were "busy". Wish
"they" would start getting their heads in the right place regarding
compensation for instructors. I thought we were trying to be more
professional in our approach to this business ( Pardon my soapbox position) :)
