Christopher,
Amateur sociological observation, and philosophical advice.

You have been a welcome addition to this thread. Should you leave, we will be all the poorer for it.

I read the posts where some posters gave you a little grief. It was not vicious. It was a very intense exchange of ideas at times. I found the exchanges educational, and I'm sure many others also found them educational.

Communicating in a written medium is difficult. Written communication lacks so much compared to verbal communication with it's tone of voice and body language to clarify one's intentions. Let's face it our generation is not noted for their letters. We are the telephone and television generation.

The Internet has created a return to the written word in an instant communication medium. My observation and personal struggle with this transition is shared with many others.

However, this form of communication offers an advantage over verbal communication. If you think some one is taking an unwarranted shot at you, reply briefly, or don't reply at all. Don't write a thesis. Just pull their leg and give them a JAJAJAJA.

Thanks for the TA reports, I hope you continue sharing your work with us.
