Where have I heard that before..... oh, it was BBJ's Dan!
You know, not knowing how is ok. It's not showing any desire to find out that isn't ok. Every time you've tried to give him a clue, he's rejected it. Maybe not out load, but he hasn't followed up, and he hasn't done anything (that I've seen) to try to learn on his own. What message does he think he is sending?
