Well said! I am very happy that some Australians have a sense of humor, which I hadn't realized until now. I know that British and Irish humor are excellent. USA humor varies between the mediocre and the sublime. This reminds me of the last time that I wrote similarly about Creative Genius on the internet to a forum of rather incompetent (mostly) teachers, after which one teacher replied with a hysterical email accusing me of implying that I am a Creative Genius and everybody else is ___ (expletive deleted). Her argument was that teachers are so dedicated and loving and kind and generous and...etc., that to criticize them was tantamount to blasphemy. I hesitated to tell her (and I did not) that expletives deleted as a way of life are more common among the Mediocre than other categories in my opinion. My wife, Marleen J. Doctorow, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist for over 30 years, would be very proud of me if she had any time left after her patients. Oops! Did I imply anything about her? If so, I withdraw my last sentence. : > ) Osher ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duraid Madina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 5:39 PM Subject: Re: Good summary of Bogdanov controversy > > > 1.
