Hi,
    Not to add any fuel to an fire that I think is well & thoroughly beat, I got this
exact same e-mail last year (not from this list). I don't recall if I replied to it
or not but I do find it odd that these poor students are stuck with the same teacher
for years and years. There is no date in it so you never know how long it has been
out there. The students may be stuck in stasis in a parallel cyber dimension. Now I'm
scared ... is there any plans for a rescue attempt?

PS: I agree, I wouldn't want it to take over the forum, but some personal banter is
fun. I'll be the first to admit I love to goof off while at work and not absorbed in
what I'm doing. It breaks the monotony and proves we aren't robots ...yet!
