   Good idea.  It could be a place where those more experienced with 
Shavian can teach the new people.

   I haven't seen Ghost World.  Maybe I'll just have to watch it to 
understand the connection.

   We need to come up with good quizes for beginning students.  What

I haven't been able to convey the utility of Shavian to but a couple 
people, and it's their own procrastination that keeps them from 
learning it.  Or maybe other obligations . . . but who needs 
homework?  Jobs?  Life?  Nah.
