Often I would turn down boat outings and other nice activities to teach the classes only to sit at home and have no one show and no one call to cancel. I decided that if I were ever to offer such gratis classes in the future, students would have to pay a good amount for the course in advance and get refunds for every class they attended and were on time for. By the end of the course they would have received a full refund if they respected my time. If not, I would have been paid for my time. > > > Ciao, all the best, drew _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
