I used to enjoy the email asking me if I said anything important in a
missed lecture. I usually responded by saying I never say anything
important in the classroom. I'm only there to keep the students off the
streets.

My lectures were 80 minutes long. Sometimes I informed the student that
since I type more slowly than I talk it would take quite some time to
tell them what they missed via email. I'd invite them to my office for
a private lecture. Nobody took me up on that one.

I remain happily retired and derelict,

LOL! I'm going to pass the article and your comment to my husband,
Dave. He had mail from a student a couple weeks ago where the student
was, in essence, wanting Rob to do the homework problem for him. (And
he retired TO teaching. :-)

Still get plenty of Meg in ba.food and la.food. Strange, is I
don't really recall her posting very often in RFC - probably
because I was used to seeing her in ba.food so much.

She moved to southern California and is presumably trying to bring
la.food back to life. She still posts in ba.food. Homesickness.

I was interviewed in an arizona newspaper once for a web project I was working
on. I was completely misquoted and they made me sound like some cocky, uppity
[censored]. I was so irritated.

When one calls a company a recording often says "This call may be
recorded (for some bogus reason)." I wish those recording things were
easier to come by and use for the rest of us.

I also find it discouraging to hear that newspapers won't run
someone's words by them before printing them.

What? You want them to give you a chance to retract what you said
before they blatt it all over their medium? OTOH, I guess I was
lucky. When the fellow from the Boston Globe interviewed me, he got
all my quotes right.

Meg is the one who always ended her posts"rage away"
I liked that.

I like her comment about properly formatting your e-mail. Especially
the part about the balance of power and thank you notes!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Sue.<g>

Didn't sound like Meg.

She was a student too recently to do this.

I think Email is great. It is just a tool, though, and isn't different
from anything before.

I've taught classes at this level, and it really doesn't matter whether
it is office hours or Email.

I often quote something she emailed me, once, regarding "bad love

"Any woman without at least one horror story in her past is a total coward."

Oh gawd..I was not a coward, but maybe a fool.... Probably more than
once or twice. But I don't regret it..
