Thank you for that additional information. We can simply allow the rest of the group make up their own minds about your comments. Obviously rather than teach, Frank merely sat in front of a class with his laptop open and posting to the newsgroup.
Liebermann, when he could find work, did something other than work. John was in the Air Force and he did not even think of posting to the Internet.
As a matter of fact: Many years ago, one dolt in this newsgroup claimed
he was going to snitch to the dean of my college that I was posting
during working hours.
Said dolt had no idea of when I was working or not (including,
frequently, beyond midnight). And he had no idea that the dean was more
than perfectly satisfied with my work. He (or she) would never have
given his complaint a minute of thought.
Frank, from your tone of posting I can only assume that you're referring to me. Threats like that on you would have been purely theoretical, unlike Flunky who supposedly works a real job. As for beyond midnight, correcting papers is not work that
requires thinking but time alone. I often did some of my best work while sleeping because my dreams were always about my work and how to resolve difficulties. This occurs even today when a recent dream was about getting the heart/lung machine to work
properly. While the heart pump worked flawlessly, the artificial lungs were a real mess in which I was not involved. Oxygen exchange between the air and circulatory system is a mess which is why at best lung transplants do not work.
But you might ask yourself what sort of dean would be satisfied with ANY teacher's work? It is a dean's job to never be happy with the work of anyone under him and to always work for improvements. This is how I approached every job. To always try to make
improvements of any previous performnce. And my job history showed that as my references noted.
I think that you should show a bit more emotional indifference. NONE of the industrial age advancements came from teachers even if they came from ideas often started by them. I do not deny your importance but it would be wise for you to do so.
