THANKS and a tip o' the ol' Home Movies hat to Michael Lopez at Higher Ed Intelligence for his thoughtful amplifications of my lengthy essay from last week. Kudos, also, to Charles G. Hill of Dustbury.com for his equally fine taste in bloggerature. I was beginning to wonder if anyone reads this page anymore.

(I know I took a couple of weeks off recently -- but sheesh! -- you slow down to recharge your batteries for half a minute in this blog racket. and everyone starts writing you off as a burn-out! Megan, you de-linked me? Fmeh upon thee!)
