Bill, you do exemplary work. No one would question that. I certainly aspire to the standards you set. However, you also do more building than just about anyone here, and assume that all will develop in the same way.

Now I am all for growth of skills and put this ahead of a continued reliance on aids, and hope that my record speaks to this. I am not disagreeing with you in encouraging others to greater heights. I am simply stating that your comments of late have been quite caustic. Work holding should not develop into such a big issue. It is really quite trivial and some here are just having a bit of fun with it as well. Perhaps I am being unnecessarily sensitive?

Regards from Perth
