Most of us that visit this site daily & regularly know the feedback and advice is excellent and honest. This thread was no exception. PG, you did your best! This was a very interesting read with way too much drama...definetly memorable. I really hope the OP will follow through with the advice given, because his son appears to have talent.
It reminded me of quote about statistics I read not too long ago: "He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts—for support rather than for illumination."
