No offense Robert, but the conversation seemed to take an abrupt turn for
the worse. All I asked was that you provide information about how you
teach. That you have taken this approach leads me to believe that perhaps
your success in teaching is not what you have said it is.

Of course, I could be wrong. It is just the feeling your last post left me
with.

I'm bowing out of what was, but is no longer, an interesting discussion -
for the obvious reasons and conclusions!
