I have been thinking of putting together a newsletter to send out to all the tuners on the island, (about 20 of them), to encourage them to come to meetings. I want to ask permission to use what you just said. Maybe it will encourage some of them to realize the importance of learning. <BR><BR>On a similar note, just before he died at the age of 86, I asked my dad if he had any regrets.

There has been a bunch of times something I read here saved my butt years after I read it, when I had no earthly use for it at the time. People mostly seem to want isolated lick and stick factoids, specific to the crisis du jour and expiring on application, rather than long term integrated systems of basic principles applicable to almost anything. Handing them a "what" may solve their current problem, but if they care enough to bother to work out the "why", they can avert a thousand future problems and get into trouble at much higher and more interesting levels than before. <BR> <BR>"What you have been obliged to discover by yourself leaves a path in your mind which you can use again when the need arises" <BR>--- G.
