No way, Ned, stick around. Just don't get too close to some of the
overboiled academic talk-all that territorial pissing and weenie wiggling
can make a real mess. We'll sit at the back of the class and throw
spitballs when it gets too ponderous... sometimes a good read is just a
good read, and there's nothing wrong with that...
