Thanks, Linda!
Having taken and taught a number of classes myself (not PS), I've always
found that the depth of one's knowledge, especially w/ mid-level courses, is
not nearly as important as the ability to-- in your words-- "relay that
information for others to learn from". Perhaps that's why typically
programmers make terrible trainers. <s>
I'll look into both names you mentioned.
Thanks again.
