you are right and I for one would not think that it will. A form of bench racing nothing more. Bench instructing. A disconect between real person and internet person aside, anything or anyone can get a bit old after too much. A slice of rich cake. the first bite is enjoyed and the last bite is often left on the plate. Speaking for myself only, Dremmel boy should have served a smaller slice, he is getting tiresome and his online 'tude is childish. No big thing just someting to chat about untill something better comes along.
I have yet to meet an active instructor that carrys a bad or hurtfull view of Green students. If this kind of view forms instructors tend to stop instructing as the pay is not too hard to replace. I like Green students and see that they like "real" humans come with a wide range of skills.

Right on, Kurt;

No harm, no foul. No worries, VR. Just hash'in.

I enjoy Green students. While they are a ton of work most of the time, they are also the most rewarding when they get it.

In fact, I can say that I like at LEAST 95% of the people I've ever met at the track. There are a very few that I'd spit on after all these years. I just find it really hard not to draw direct comparisons to some of our most famous list doofi, and I can't imagine anyone of any intellectual capacity whatever walking down that path with his eyes open, willingly.

Aint life rich?

Scotch, cigars, wine???? You guys crack me up... Y'all come down to Texas and grab a Lonestar out of the ice chest. And if you're parked next to someone with real money, they might even have some Shiner Bock in the ice chest...

When I lived in your neck of the woods, I drank a lot of Shiner Bock. It used to be that it was only local. Now it is everywhere, including all over the east coast. Seems sort of like a sell out to me now.

I am glad you didn't try to suggest that they smoke cow paddies. That's just gross.

Not to worry, we have ice chests full of Sierra Nevada and Blue Moon. A man has to have a chaser!

Yeah, Shiner is still one of my favorites though. A great local micro brew beer in Texas is St. Arnolds which is brewed in Houston.

No doubt, but I know a bar on the courhouse square in Denton, Texas that sells ice cold Lonestars for $1 all day long. Ain't no beer better than a free beer. And $1 is almost free, right?

Hey, I like Lonestar!!!!! I've started on a new beer though, Trumer Pills. It's Austrian and pretty damn good.

BTW, I was a Prima Donna student............
