COMMENTS (5) IS NOW COMMENTS (9) | 2007-03-03
I went to bed last night after bragging that there were FIVE comments under "Cyberoots Rebellion." I promised to respond to them.
It is flattering that people have said that it is a special honor when I put a comment I wish I'd made right up here, as blog and without discussion. Like being accepted as regular member of this seminar, I expect you to take it as a compliment.
But there is another aspect. The old idea of a graduate seminar only survives HERE. In the old, REAL seminar, one of the great accomplishments for the professor is when he can just sit there with a satisfied smile on his face while his students go at it. Permit me that privilege.
GO TO CYBEROOTS REBELLION and READ THE COMMENTS. A good teacher teaches, but he is also aware when he has TAUGHT. This is a bunch of old hands stating what they got and dealing with each other. At this point for me to jump in with my Authoritative Opinions smacks of Mommy Professorism.
I have done a spectacular job here, and you show it.
