It's still me, thre3e, but the thing wouldn't let me sign in with it. Thank you for the good will that shows up in your reply. I am an old retired academic. I've sat through many heated arguments in the faculty club and lounge, but what I found at this website is absolutely new to me. I think that maybe the best way I can convey why I'm soooo amazed is by rendering a few responses as I expected them to come in. Do you actually think that coining a word would slow down terrorists? Dream on fella! OR Every high school kid knows that we have truth with a capital "t," and we have truth with little "t." Aren't we sufficiently supplied already? OR Who knows what may come from little acorns. OR A cogent argument that would deflate all assertions of absolute truth would be very nice to have. You see? These would speak to the subject, and they would give me a chance to promote the idea, if I were so inclined, which I'm not. But when I get responses that point out to me the difference between a scholarly paper and my quick sharing of a momentary whim with folks I had deemed to be fellow academicians, then I am just taken aback. Thanks again for responding as you did. I understand and agree with your points, especially with respect to academic papers.
