Hello Ted, and thanks so very much for such a warm welcome and detailed answer.
Yes, I certainly can download and watch 5 to 7 hours of videos. I can also read a dozen or however many issues of the Follow-Up journal necessary to learn this. I have no problem asking for help, and I'm able to take screenshots to illustrate whatever point I'm trying to make or question I'm trying to answer. I have no problem with public posting of any selections or wagers I may make while "in training". I'm quite amenable to making paper bets during my baby-step phase.
I had read about your next iteration of HTR and I'm pretty excited about that. What I can offer is a solid commitment to learn and do whatever work is required of me. I truly do appreciate your candor and the time you took to address my very first post here.
I've been reading a few posts here, and not to put a damper on anything, but I was a bit discouraged by a post from another thread. I would like to say that this is not the complete post, just the part that really got my attenton:

That's a bit discouraging and I hope its nothing I wouldn't be able to overcome.
Thanks again for the warm welcome and great response to my intitial post, Ted.
