All right, all right.  That's enough.  First, I would like to point out that I
did not say anything about Jim's "bleatings"!  I respect Mr. Showalter's
opinions, I just do not agree with them.  Please be a little more careful with
the attributions!

important .. what should be taught.  (Never mind about how many hours it takes
to graduate or what other courses will be taught.  Students should suffer :) :)
