Highly doubt it! Usenet does not consider flame wars to be abusive! Sad!

Back on topic, after reading many posts from all forums, I still see many students struggling in the 3rd year and that's with instruction. Question is, how good is the quality of instruction?

I think some students create a fear of starting on the bagpipe after being on the chanter for over a year.
There's no reason that a beginning student couldn't at least learn to start playing the pipes with just the knowledge of the scale. It's a starting point and everything they learn on the chanter should be learned on the pipes too.

Why wait?
