Forgive me ... I am feeling a bit snarky ...
Please don't quote as I may delete.

I now feel with a few of my latest threads that I have sufficiently earned that
self-performed literature comment
yes, it made me mad at 1st, but I can
almost laugh about it now.
&
to the academic in my life who sometimes mockingly asks
"Are you doing your PhD?"
when I am deep in FAS thought ....
---------------------------------------------
I have put a lot of myself into this place over the last few years and I have to cut back on my time here ...
but as I prepare to start writing my regulations comment,
I will instead remember the words of one of my college professors ...
Your ability to collate + synthesize material from a clear + critical perspective is first rate and your writing is a pleasure to read.
I would personally hope that others can share your ideas through your writing.
I don't know if I'll be able to live up to that, especially these days when quiet time is hard to find ...
but this issue has been a passion of mine and it will be a pleasure to try.
