hi Dryermaker,
don't take it personnal man, if you look carefully i said durind 98 throught 99 not 3k and at this time the beautiful environment you've just discribed was a lot different... believe me!!! but anyway if you got what for you paid good for you, i'm hoping that more than 50% of Ari Ben Aviator's students are agree with you ... and after all things may be changed so ... good luck to all of you guys.
PS Does Pierre Lavial still there???
