"Students do need training and you're only wasting your time if you believe you're wasting your time. Why should someone else's opinion make you think that your efforts were for naught? Didn't you gain satisfaction from learning and understanding controlling? And teaching others to do the same? \n  \nWhenever you let the opinions of others affect your decisions, then you allow those persons to control you. I don't know about you, but I prefer to defy the opinions of others. So, stick around. With all your experience and knowledge, wouldn't your departure be contributing to what you perceive as a decline in the quality of VATSIM? (I'm [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming that you're thinking about leaving by your distaste for the current environment, if I am wrong I apologize.) \n"
