I'd just like to say a big "thank you" to our host for giving me what is perhaps the most useful tool I have in college.

I don't remember the name of the story, but one of the short stories in "Maps in the Mirror" talks about a professor grading papers. He's scornful of all except one, about which he says something to the effect of, "There you go. Don't challenge my conclusions, challenge my assumptions."

Anyway, that sentence has stuck in my head for the past few years and I only just now remembered where I learned it.

So thanks [Big Grin]

This ever happen to anyone else? You read something and then go..."Wow. I *get* it now..."

That's from The Originist. And it is a great quote.
