Hey Scott,

Oh man, are you being diplomatic or what ?

I've always found in education as a whole, that the BEST always give their knowledge for free. I'm not talking about paid education here but mentorship and guidance.

I know what I know, because of those that came before me, saw that I had an interest in a topic, and freely gave their time and interest.

It's all well and good to do a paid course ( eg. in spoon and egg racing ) but quite different to actually converse and be involved with a pro egg and spoon racer who polishes his spoons and selects the best eggs which won't fall off the spoon.

That's called life experience, and doesn't come at a cost of $2500 a day ! Heck, even pro studio time doesn't cost that much.

And besides that, there's no bragging rights when you have to pay for it.

In other words, "Did you bed the girl that you met tonight or did you go down the local brothel ?"

No contest.

cheers, niteshift
