Wow,
I go to Europe for a few days and this hasn't gone away. There is nothing thinly veiled about my concern for the soft sciences. I have well founded and experience based concerns, and that is that. Not disparaging of anyone's "discipline" or the Department they and/or their tenure resides in, we work very had to support research activities in this broad cluster of disciplines (that is to fund them). I may be abrasive, I may be direct, that is who I am. I try to keep it underwraps here, but periodically I can't help myself. I just can't help it when someone pulls out an obscure (to everyone but the author or someone in his/her subdiscipline)and in this case, not easily found, wrong year, reference to add the weight of intellectual superiority to the conversation.

Al brings up a point- show us your trees. We might be a bit sensitive- we have had a great promulgator of bandwidth who in the end had no trees. Show us your trees, we need soneone else with your yeasr of experience to be posting quality trees.

(Glider, London was very, very nice today. Would have been a good day to cancel class and play hookie, at least for a while, I had to work.)
