    <p>By the way, some members of the listservs have already registered
      for my 2½-day PCT class which will commence this coming Tuesday. 
      There are two hourlong sessions in which I will discuss David's
      points discussed below, in extreme detail.</p>
    <p>I would very much like it if a few more people would register
      for, and attend, my class.  There are still empty seats in the
      classroom.</p>
    <p>For those who have not yet made their plans to attend, it's not
      too late.  <span
