Thanks as always for the comments, and please keep them coming! New longer post coming in the next day. A.W.

"Rockin' the Ivory Tower: When Academics Attack." ha! In all seriousness, this was quite interesting to read. I've worked on the fringes of academia and never found it much to my liking, though I recognize that's probably an irresponsible blanket statement. (But since when have I been responsible? Heck, life is short, right?) Nice post, AW. (I'll always think of the root beer. Mmmm... frothy goodness indeed!)
