THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

I am handing out an unusual numberof compliments right now and it is a pleasure to do so.

I still come down hard on commenters, and you have to EARN a good word.

But I don't come down hard to maintain an image as a Tough Professor. You know what I think of Greatest Generation "tough guys."

You now know how deifficult it is to understand our "simple" approach. That is what our seminar, BUGS, is all about.

Dave, Simmons, Pain, Z and the rest are staying Focussed on OUR approach and EXPANDING on it. When you do that, it is pleasure to hand out some congrats. I hope you are happy to have EARNED them.
