Dear Mister Kane,
You sir are a great contributor to this forum. Your posts and replies have been a valuable resource for myself and I'm sure others who participate in this forum.
Your insinuation that fear is motivating this 8+ year CWI to travel to Dallas in October to spend 1 week with a highly respected instructor and countless years of experience with others in our craft is personally unacceptable to myself and those who will be participating in the course.
Possibly just a good natured challenge on your part. However without the benefit of voice and personality you text could be translated to be bit harsh.
Sure, I could very easily travel to Milwaukee, take and pass the "Part B". However it comes as a surprise to me that you think a plastic weld sample could ever replace the experience and education I will receive in Dallas.
Sincerely
jr
