Agreed 100%. Of all the professional lists to which I ,

CHA is probably the most civil and useful of the lot. It has an

amazing spread of professional knowledge and the willingness of

its [very busy] Members to share their insights and experiences is

to be applauded.

 

As one who has taught professionals and students in many areas

for almost 40 years, I also agree with Emmanuel's comment:

Nothing focuses the mind as much as the *preparation* of lecture

material for professionals. And, having prepared, nothing is a better

learning experience than to be queried and criticised constructively

by trained minds.

 

So, for the " quiet ones " on CHA, especially students and younger

members, I encourage you to raise any questions as they arise

and to comment honestly/critically on the ideas/answers of others.

 

hats off to you for maintaining this List.

 

 

 

 

Best regards,
