Marci--
        What a wonderful assignment, especially for the class I'm
        about to teach because it's not a beginner's class in TW
        but it's also not an advanced class.  I'm going to give
        some serious thought to how to make this work for me.
        Thanks for sharing it!

Is it not, then, better to be ridiculous and friendly than clever and hostile?
