LT, I admire you for telling the T all this. I know I never would and would just look up anything I want on the public web. I hope his feedback has helped a bit for you to see/accept that your curiosity and using the web is okay!

It is always interesting to me that some other members here see your T as failing in many things. To me, he still seems like the best T I can read about here regularly and your progress with him is pretty visible. Of course these things are subjective.
