OK, so perhaps I could have made my complaint more explicit in that what
I was really conveying my opinion that what Andy was saying was that
because this previous instructor of his said what he said that Andy
meant it is a waste of time to be teaching industrial arts now in
general (and to those particular students in general)...if that was not
his intent, then I did misunderstand.

How's that for obuscation...

BTW, I enjoyed your "farm life" postings ... brought back memories. My
earliest are of cattle and rice. We raised cattle for gravy to put on the
rice.



Thanks, at least one person wasn't totally, bored...hopefully someone
may have learned just a little or get a slight change in viewpoint as
well...
