Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Interested in taking the ABS "Classification of Submersibles"course?

Ian, 

For me it's primarily a time issue. It's like adding another convention, and I'm fully scheduled until spring.  I'd also like to do some pre-course study so the instruction doesn't go over my head.

I still want to get in on it next year.  Thanks for letting me know about it.

Hi,

since I didn't get any takers on this, I'll rephrase the question.

Why aren't you taking this course?

Cheers!
  Ian.
