A major issue is this: the spoon-feeding he does receive is
unefficacious. Smart, well-meaning, articulate people's time is
getting squandered.

I read the responses. I've learned things from them. But Nikos
has not. And once a discussion devolves to reitteration even that
value is lost.

And perhaps worst of all, there's none of the closure or
vicarious catharsis that usually comes from a well-designed
educational transaction.
