I am referring to Bill Oliver's essay that appeared under the "Fedora =
"the darker

I just wanted to say how wonderfully well-expressed this essay was.  It
is widely
applicable and should be required reading for "gurus" in ever-so-many
areas.
(There are many contributors to the R-help mailing list to which I
subscribe
who would benefit from taking this essay to heart.)

I hope that Harald Reindl reads it and takes it to heart.  I have no
patience
with those on this list who slang off at Harald.  He is a brilliant guy
and provides
a great service to the Fedora community.  But he would be even more
useful to
the community if he absorbed Bill Oliver's advice.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
Rolf:  Thanks for pointing out Bill's message. It's something everyone
should read.

As a graduate student, I was required to teach.  It took a number of
years to figure it out, but I did figure out why I was a lousy teacher.
  Everything I did in class reflected the attitude "It's perfectly clear
to me; what the f***'s wrong with you?"
