Richard, are you saying that I miscited this, thereby changing the meaning of the original, or misapplied the language to the discussion? Either way I would disagree, but just curious.
"This statement leads me to conclude you attended NU in Southern France; the University made famous for its continuous 40,000 year legacy, usage, contribution to art and humnoid development."
Penn---my use of a question mark was intended to mean imply a question, not a statement. My apologies.
"I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!"
SF = Those who can and do - and also teach! "
ZD---Aw, a little Rooster Cogburn. Indeed, SF is a unit whose members can both do and teach. Which, in my experience, is not a very common trait in academia. I am sure others have had other experience.
Again, my good friends, I do not mean to insult or denigrate. Just lending my personal observations to the discussion.

No offense taken in this quarter, Your Honor! I love a lively discussion, opposing opinions, intelligent banter among true professionals. After a high school teaching career that began almost 35 years ago - I know that quote is all too often TOO true.
On a side note, I anxiously await the Cohen Bros. take on "True Grit" - I hope that line remains, as well as the line "The Duke" said in reply. (I hope they can find an actor to fill his "bad guy" shoes.)
