FLUXLIST: Kicking people out

2003-01-05 Thread Jennifer Sheldon
Dear Mr. Bukoff, I lurk more than I participate here, so I am not sure that I have the right to speak. Even so, I want to ask for reconsideration on your decision to remove Eric Andersen and St. Auby Tamas. I don't like them much, and my research into Mr. Andersen's claims suggests that his

Dear Bertrand, Your thoughtful note had me thinking. I may talk with my committee again. It may be a mistake of me not to consider going elsewhere, but a good scholarship and a teaching fellowship at a large American university make it hard to leave. Besides, this is where my boyfriend

Dear Bertrand, Your comments certainly echo my thoughts. We do identify ourselves through our studies, though America has so many more art historians and universities than France does that even people with an identity often seem to disappear. In terms of my committee, I don't yet know what

Dear Mr. Brace, If you want an example, I’ll be happy to provide one. First, I want to clear up your misquote. I did not write the words you quoted me as having written. You changed my words, placing your own addition word in quotation marks to make it appear that I wrote about “art historical

Dear ArtnAnts, It helps to know what you are talking about before telling people what you know. There is no Ph.D. in art history at the University of California at Santa Cruz. If there were, it would probably be comparable to the Ph.D. in history. A UC Santa Cruz Ph.D. in history generally

Dear ArtAnts, Perhaps I misunderstand something. Are you saying that there was a two-year graduate program in art history when you attended the University of California at Santa Cruz or are you saying there was a two-year Ph.D. program? Not all graduate programs are Ph.D. programs. Most

Dear ArtnAnts, Everyone I know gets these ads in their in-box. There is a difference between buying a diploma and earning a degree. Perhaps you can tell me which prestigious universities offer this service. Not UCSC, I hope. Dang! Jenny Do you want a prosperous future, increased money

Dear ArtnAnts, Sorry if there was a misunderstanding, but I didn't say don't speak unless you know what you are talking about. I said, It helps to know what you are talking about before telling people what you know. One of the world's great difficulties is that people often believe they know

Dear Madawg (ArtnAnts?) Thanks. The record is cool. He has all these weird tunes from the 1940 and 1950s. A capella material, stuff he calls doo-wop, interesting things. Jenny Dear Jenny- your dad’s record sounds cool _ MSN
