Hm......

You sure about that? Doesn't sound like something I'd say......well,
not explicitly, anyway.

For one thing, I'm not in the habit of advising people to do what I'm
in no position to do myself (there aren't many things I know enough
about in sufficient detail to justify the hubris of presuming to
educate others) and have no good reason to suppose that they can.

For the most part, I restrict myself to pointing out glaring instances
of what appear to be unconscious deficiencies in education. With the
resources available today (more on that in a thread coming soon to a
newsgroup near you), I think it's safe to allow anyone who is
interested to pursue education in just about any area on his or her
own. Lack of motivation or a basic capacity to benefit from this rich
vein of opportunity is a problem beyond the remedial skills of any
erstwhile teacher here.....as is demonstrated daily......hourly.

You do a fine job of that,

Yes, he does, doesn't he?

I enjoy your contributions to the newsgroup.

So do I......um.....mostly.
