Recently, a friend who is a forensics teacher read me a quote from one
of the great Greeks. It was "Great minds talk about ideas, mediocre
minds talk about things, inferior minds talk about people.". With that
in mind, I have to say that this list is mostly comprised of great
minds. At least, of late. Some of the recent discussions, which I felt
at first got too didactic and involuted, are strongly supportive of the
first part of the quote. I am glad such a forum exists. In spite of
the strife and stress it undergoes from time to time, it still remains
an oasis in the cyber jungles out there. Thank you all for continuing
the tradition that Andy and colleagues have started and nurtured. Now,
don't rest on your laurels. Keep up the good work. More controversy,
more advocacy, more strong feelings, please. While social entropy drags
us all toward mediocrity, keep this forum moving upward. At least, if
the server will let us post.
