From time to time, PEN-L bandwidth is consumed for days on end in people living up to refute somebody like David Shemano or Steve Diamond.

My wife, who has a tenure-track position teaching economics in NYC, would much prefer to watch Housewives of Beverly Hills for a break from her research than bother with such an exercise. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
