Re: What Do You Think?
Yes alas I'm sure you're right, and others have written to me to suggest the very same thing. Indeed, it seemed too good to be true to me as well, which is why I solicited learned opinions rather than desperately grasping at it. Incidentally, does anyone know the origin of "if something sounds too good to be true - it probably is?" While I'm sure that at many points one wise man or another has said it, I wonder who said it first--and whether it might not have been a wise woman. :) Thanks Jacob.

list changes
As I announced earlier, the GMU listserv system is changing.
