Jochen, Merle, To be clear I was not attempting offense, and before we *race to the bottom* and get too *butt-hurt*, I would like to point out that the quote I offered was from the introduction to Don Quixote that I had in hand a number of years ago. When I read the quote, I immediately wrote it down and when I trawl the internet today, it doesn't seem to show up. I literally had to dig through the pages of one of my archived notebooks to find it.
Upon reflection, the quote *does* seem relevant to me if I replace *silly **women *with *stuffy post-academics*. The wisdom it seems is that thinking carefully *is for yourself* and that the audience is inevitably composed of *nincompoops* and *ninnies*. Jon
