True... which is why my comments were gentle in nature. (At least that was my intent... :o) I'm most often on the end of the one asking questions instead of being able to provide answers, so I know what it's like to receive answers in the form of questions that assume knowledge that I don't have and, therefore, I can't even begin to understand the significance of the question. Questioning is a very good way to teach, but the answers always have to be in reach of the learner.
