Ken, I've only been following Klarinet for about four or five weeks,
and I feel the same sense of disappointment when subscribers flame others=
. BUT there's so much good stuff on the list, too, that I think
it's worth sticking around for the learning experience. After all,
we're all human - and I don't know any human being who's nice
*all* the time. I know I expect a little more when I know people have =
time to think before they flame, but don't you think that you're perhaps =
expecting us all to be perfect? Please don't leave - after all,
you may yet be able to answer a query that no-one else can, and
that's what friendship's all about, whether it's on the Net or in
person: taking the good with the bad, and giving even if what you
get back isn't quite what you expected.
...and sorry if I sound preachy, I don't mean to. :-)

To Nick:

Could you perhaps explain why you've had so many teachers in a
fairly short space of time? Were they all at the same time, or consecuti=
ve? Were they teaching the same style of music (e.g. jazz/classical/etc)=
?
