That's OK. I remember what sophomore year of undergrad was like. I mean, that HOT professor with those great ideas that Mommy and Daddy would never . . .

It's ok for people footing the bill in part to want know what exactly they are paying for, even if people may still keep dying? Good to know, I was starting to think people would be surprised...

* Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

* Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

* When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

* Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

* Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

* Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
