On a happier note, a friend of mine ran a free-of-charge email-based 'school' for a little while, sending out questions every week and checking answers. The questions were designed to test knowledge and promote research and learning. He was very hot on general aviation knowledge, threw in some worthwhile history, and was adept at separating the wheat from the chaff when it came to technical matters. He might be persuaded to do something similar again.
