Now now, no need for that. You don't know diddley about my "experience". 
Unless you are talking very narrowly about my experience teaching 
classes on "Zen Buddhist Philosophy" - of which I have nil, and have 
already stated as much. But as everyone know, the correlation between 
teaching quality and years in the saddle is far from direct. And Richard 
obviously needs my help - or somebody's. He only pretends like he's not 
going to take my free advice - but secretly he has already completely 
revised his course syllabus. My Tarot cards told me all about it this 
morning.
