Subject: po-co web site 


re Brians' web site:
I also should clarify that I didn't ask if _you_ rely on the web
for historical information, as you imply in your defensive
response.  I asked if _your students_ get all their
historical info from the web links you provide.  There's a great
rush to get courses on-line, yet there is still not much
reliable information on the web, esp. not much history as
opposed to polemical & hermeneutical writing (granting that this
diff holds in a relative way, as I do). I wondered how
supplemental or central to the syllabus such web links were.
Web sites also seem to present small, ADD-friendly chunks of
info that never attain the comprehensiveness of books.  These
are issues of concern to all teachers, so I asked about the role
of the web in your course(s).
