I certainly appreciated the candor. Very interesting!
This is the best online CLE I have ever done. I have practiced 22 years. The speakers were clear, forthright. I didn't have to guess at what they meant. They didn't waste time trying to be funny or giving compliments. I'm actually going to watch it again. Thank you.
