I do. But when you're showing someone you never met before, and may never 
see again, something new, and a scarf tells them you don't know what you're 
teaching, how much credability do you think you have?

is right and makes you feel good. As long as it doesn't hurt others.

May all the luck in the world be with you. And may one day we meet on the 
field of honor as friends and equals.
