(off list) Hi Ray: Aram is being Aram. He was at least year's workshop, and he is enough to try anyone's patience. Most of us are just ignoring him. It may seem rude, but we've tried, and there just isn't much else we can do. Please don't let him get to you, and by all means don't let him dissuade you from teaching your classes. I think Aram's real problem is that he is frustrated. At times he seems as dumb as a stump. Other times he seems to be quite smart, but he just doesn't have the "knack" for integration work. He doesn't read documentation (or he doesn't grasp it), and then he gets frustrated when people can't take his hand and walk him step-by-step through things. Last year he walked around for quite a while with an encoder (or maybe a jogwheel) in his hand, looking for someone to show him how to wire it up. He wound up hooking its 5V supply to 24V and burning it out, and afterwards I swear he still didn't understand why it didn't work. He just doesn't get some things that we consider so fundamental we don't even think about them. I truly think he will never be happy unless someone literally devotes their entire week to helping him (and only him). Maybe he needs to hire someone to do exactly that... but I can assure you it won't be me - I would go insane.
