Yes, I did say the below tongue-in-cheek, having fond interchanges with
Carl, et. al. for almost three years now. The b-greek culture I remember
(up until 3 months ago) had occasional respectful lightheartedness,
which I thought was a good reminder to prevent taking selves too
seriously. I personally think that true learning is best achieved when
one's ideas are exposed to a variety of constructive criticisms
(lighthearted "zaps") while maintaining a tolerance for each other's
backgrounds, and I welcome such. I take it you are new to b-greek Bill?
If so, welcome. If not, thank you for your welcome reminder. Please
respond off-list so we do not clutter everyone's mailboxes.
Sincerely,
Wes
