Hi Ann, I just wanted to say a few things real quick. Thanks for your contributions to the discussion. I do value Janina's opinions and statements. Giving me a list of her work experiences might make my admiration for all the work she has done raise another notch, and personally I have nothing against her, as I hope the same goes for myself; however, we just seem to disagree upon this issue and work experience while valued in its addition of validity to Janina's position does not really affect the argument in my opinion. Also by the way *smile* I am male, my name is persian so most people don't recognize it *smile*. Have a great one, Sina -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Ann Parsons Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 4:03 PM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: text to html Hi all, Well, Janina you have a valid point. One should examine any opinion or knowledge dispensed to see its validity. However, having never seen Sina's name on here, I just wondered if she knew with whom she was speaking. Even The Pope can make mistakes, and this from a practicing Catholic, but it does pay to know it's The Pope speaking if you're going to evaluate a statement for validity. One assumes that The Pope has a reasonable amount of experience which would be used in making statement. Same is true for you. I would evaluate whatever you said in light of my own experience and in light of past experience of your posts. Giving Sina a list of your work experience would help her to evaluate properly. One should always evaluate from a position of knowledge. <smile> Ann P. -- Ann K.
