    So this is a new person to this list.
    
    She took the time to join the list.
    
    Then she took the time to type out a long email message asking for assistance.
    
    Not a single answer to any question has been forthcoming.
    
    Just attacks on her character, morals, and ethics.
    
    I would contend that even if this was a 15 year old "scum bag of the 
    universe", the very act of typing out all those questions with her own hand, 
    then evaluating the answers she receives, accomplishes the act of learning.
    
    This is the goal.
    
    I would say to her not to be discouraged with this group as they are far 
    better people than has been demonstrated so far.

    Re: course is being taken for personal enrichment (consider what this
    Re: episode says about that goal) and that "being innovative" in seeking
    Re: the answers is, to be blunt, little more than poor rationalization.

    Re: suit one's mood.  Ms. Seefer, it *always* matters.
