    Thanks for your prompt response to my questions Mr. Douglas. I have already looked into these institutions and sought another perspective.

    I apologize for asking these questions as I can see they were not warmly received I am new to this room and again just wanted a different viewpoint.

    With all due respect Charlie, we cannot give you a "different" viewpoint if we do not know what you already know or what it is you are seeking to find out. Surely you can understand that an open ended question such as "can you tell me about (fill in the blank)" leaves little hint at what you might be looking for. Your asking someone to extend themselves to offer you something you may not already know. It is helpful if you can give a little more focus and specificity to your question so the responder can give you what you want with as little wasted energy as possible.

    Hang around a while and you'll see this is really a very helpful place. But you have to do your part.

    An apology is not sought, sir. Rather, I simply encourage you to ask specific questions. If you have a more general curiousity regarding a school, then check any number of standard references for the facts, and also take Paul's advice and scour the archives on this board for threads that talk about the school you're interested in. There are positives and negatives to almost every school, depending on your situation. One cannot give a relevant opinion without knowing yours.

    Respectfully,

    Rich Douglas
