    '... [called] a curmudgeon on this subject, and many

    ... and now, in the public prints, 'an asinine bigot'.

    Well, John, not by me. Your findings tally so exactly
    with those thrown up by my own sampling techniques
    that the words, 'reasonable, balanced, objective &
    restrained' are the ones that first spring to mind.

    Jim's '4000 degree-granting, accredited institutions' ...
    [a] large proportion of them employ[ing] people
    who "fuel the literary criticism industry" - is a figure
    to give anyone pause. One is reminded of those other
    hordes of scholars, all earnestly deconstructing holy writ
    - but kneeling in the opposite direction & wearing turbans.

    And they wonder why teachers have fallen so far
    in the popular estimate & why 'intellectual' has become
    one of the most derisive of names to call anyone.
