Wouter,

The PM you sent to me was rude to say the least. You really need to work on your communication skills if you are representing the ideas you have outlined in your post above.

I would be more than happy to have a forum whereby genuine ideas and concerns can be voiced and the future path of the class can be mapped. I did think (clearly mistaken) that this forum was such a place... But if the responses thus far to my and others views are a guide to any further discussion I see little point in taking the matter to a new forum.
