I guess that to this point Wanda comes closest to my position regarding
the"Young" postings when she closes with the comment about good teachers
not feeling required to lecture.  I read a few of Young's early postings
but find that they don't add much to my knowledge base.  I already
know lots of things.  My trouble is learning what to do with what I
know and that happens best for me in reading and contributing to the
dialogs occurring online.  Additionally, from my position as a grad
student, I find lots of faculty members at my own institution ready,
willing, able and intent upon lecturing me re: sociology.  What I'm
finding most useful is the dialog among peers where those peers have
widely divergent perspectives on any given subject.  When it comes to
these issues, I find that TR Young's contributions are a distraction,
almost an irritant.  Thus, my original question.  Thanks for the
responses and additional comments.   Marni Hancock SOCAW059@EMUVM1
