Thanks for the welcome and nice to remake acquaintances I've missed for some time also.
Having fun? Well, yes, after my fashion. I enjoy debate and I enjoy thinking my way to my conclusions. I don't like being wrong of course but it goes with the territory. I have my opinions changed by my supposedly "less" educated students all of the time. It' not comfy but then, who cares in the end. If you keep your opinion in spite of dedicated efforts to change it, you've lost nothing. If you DO change your mind, it's still your opinion, so again, what has one lost? I'm an equal opportunity hack. If someone can persuasivly argue a position, I will accept it. On the other hand, if there's room for debate, what the heck, that's what we were given brains for
I should change my sigfile to read "Making friends and enemies at roughly the same pace". Whaddya think?
