I watched the videos yesterday.  Thanks for all the wonderful information.  You presented it in a logical understandable manner. Well done!  I appreciate all the little tidbits you gave when the two of you were talking.   And I thought the quiz questions were well done.  You are right, you do hear a lot of misinformation at cocktail parties. People put the wrong pieces together. You did well straightening out a lot of that kind of thing.
