My intent was not to irk anyone, sorry. I was a little irked by Roger's
negativism about a class that I have a great fondness for.

He is certainly entitled to his opinion, and I welcome him to share it.
But there's a difference between sharing an opinion and overstating an
opinion in a negative manner. What exactly is he volunteering to do other
than say "I told you so"? How is he offerring to help other than to say
"it will never work"? What good is he doing the sport by trying to shoot
down a class that's attracting a great number of young people?

Yes, I know he cares. I know he means well. I don't always agree with
him, though.
Just my opinion. Doesn't matter any more now than it ever did.
