(because there are always those people, too, who think the professors know nothing and don't appreciate their smarts).
Heh-- replace "professors" with agents and/or editors and you have much of publishing in a nutshell.

I imagine the agents & editors pretty much handle them the same why I do when they end up in my office, "No, I won't change your grade/my decision." Elaborating any more than that isn't generally worth my time, unfortunately.

Now tagless for your comfort.
So, he's going to the state college...has accepted a scholarship and financial aid. The guy talks a nice talk but does not walk the walk...
I wonder who he's going to thank for making all that more available in this economy?

He's going to thank himself, because he's a good citizen who has paid his taxes and is therefore deserving of the subsidy. It's the subsidies that go to all the people who somehow don't deserve them that are the problem. (vw, give me the smackdown any time here for seeming to put thoughts in your brother's head)

No, you're fine, Sparky. That is how he would probably answer.
Oh, Sparky! I need your snail-mail addy. I have a leetle something to send!

Totally unrelated, I am SO excited. I have an appointment with the owner of a boutique in my neighborhood on Wednesday. She wants to see some of my crochet designs and consider selling them in the shop. The fact that she'll even meet with me is just so exciting. I mean, she'll probably say no, but still! A meeting! About my crochet designs!
