Joel...I have visitors from Denmark at the moment so I'll be brief. I'd
prefer Ts from the beginning, a permanent guideline to the surface at most
sites, and getting rid of the training system as it is today. Teaching
people half of what they need to know and turning them loose in the world is
a dangerous proposition. The things I did on my Intro card would make people
shudder on this list and makes me wonder why I survived. If I had been
forced to take everything through Full in one shot I would not have been at
such a risk.

Let the list and the instructors hammer away, I'll sort it out and reply
when I can.

Drew
