Well, Jerome, some people have the patience to be a teacher, and some don't. I
realized that I don't when I tried it in grad school, so I steered in other
directions. It looks like you don't have the required patience either. You have
to understand that beginners are like children and need a helping hand at the
most fundamental level. If you have no sympathy for that approach (which is
apparently the case), then you might do well to consider steering in a different
direction too!?
