 >> To summarize, this l*st has been a gem of a find for me. To a worker who
can't hang with academics or soak up student radicalism in person, it's a
light of ideas, support, information and community at the end of the day . I
feel I know so many of you and therefore I feel a little guilty for not
letting you know me. I do plan to get more involved and contribute thoughtful
posts. Many thanks to the people who do good work on this l*st. Please keep it
up. Don't let  the "wars" deter you. If you get fed up and take your
discussion elsewhere, please let me know <<Eliza

 Chin up there Eliza. If I have to bring home a welding jacket for the flames
and rubber boots for the muck, I will do it for a while longer. This l*st is a
find, and I think it will stay that way, if everyone can take a deep breath
and walk away before flaming .

 If you have ever worked with an acetylene torch, you know that it does cut
metal, but the edges are rough and the main output is puddles of slag that
have to be scraped up and thrown out. Here we have no janitors to clean up
messes, we have to do it ourselves.

 Lets try to work with the proper tip and keep the  cut straight.

 Best, Jon Flanders
