The ifets community covers such a broad spectrum of concerned individuals.
Now consider the overlay of Professor Price and doctoral student Rust in
any higher education setting mediated by Diane McGrath <dmcgrath@ksu.edu>.
Is the gulf insurmountable or only require extensive trips to visit with
the other side?

ps. this could just be considered a break from the intensity of the last
burping and name calling. We in the west are certainly getting a dose of
the ancient lands saga of sophistry and counsel of sophomoric.
Like a game of rugby with Mr. K riding herd, Martin Owen deserves to take
the July prize..but it is only a jump on Ms A of Australia, Mr Nelson,
Prof Betz and I believe the French Ms. de M reminder of children as
emerging versus stable adult will enrich the July exchanges...at least in
what wjr seems concerned about.
