The name of the sender is on every message - can't miss catching it. I
posted the above. And no, I didn't "jump down that person's throat";
another person did vigorously complain. I agree in a sense with that
particular person, only not as vehemently, and I _did_ provide the
information in any case. There were two parts to the question, if you
remember - "who's the instructor at Duke?" (easy) and "can anyone
recommend a teacher" (not so easy). I _am_ suggesting that people do the
easy part themselves if at all possible.
