Of course I won't do it w/o your permission; but people would find it interesting. I could paste it in sections. Going out now. Let me know.

Let me make one obvious point here: published writing is not, ipso facto, good writing. In fact, most published writing is pretty bad -- especially stuff published exclusively on the web. And academics are the biggest sinners of all. In my opinion, the best way to determine whether particular posters are good writers or not is to read what they post here. Of course, they are not likely to take as much care with their posts as they would with something that they plan to publish. But that means you can get an even better idea of their "native" writing style. After all, there are no editors around on SI to prune out crooked sentences and to pretty up the text! Joan
