Please give the old man a break, 
let him time to digest all that, it isn't that easy when it's completely new, 
I even belive it is a lot to learn in a week, assuming he has no previous 
experience.

I recon Steven's habit of over-apologin and stressing his right brain 
handedness may be frustrating [btw. see the july 2009 Scientific American 
edition, it has a very interesting article about this, and brain handness 
occured much before the advent of men... but IMHO having only a right brain 
functionning would be a very rare clinical condition which I don't belive 
Steven suffer]

Some people may deserve hard criticism on a list, the are rude, mess up 
threading, reply agressively, and so on...I don't belive this is the case 
here.
True he makes a lot of "noise" on the list, with all the answers he gets ;0)

I must stress that this mail is not directed against John (who also gave good 
advice) , it is normal anyone sometimes "climbs up the wall". But please no 
mob for now.
Frankly I'm glad Steven received some needed critism from the list, but too 
much looks like pecking.


Hope you can feel that		Perry
