Subject: Re: TR Young
Yes, I am yet another who has been somewhat confused
regarding the posted "lectures" by TR Young. I have
looked in Melvyl for references to his work and
gophered to his location (but their addresses
and phone listings are not running yet). I have
done this to quietly (Sorry Mr. or Dr. Young)
check his credibility. 

I have no personal objection to his posting.
He sounds like he is offereing a FREE education
and that is a wonderful thing. I would that all my
Profs would put lectures etc on line!

But, as I am something of a neophile, I still have
a hard time telling when someone is just tooting
a big vocabulary or really is offering insight
or information. (I have read Progressive SOcy
for too long and find it to be awfully 
one-upmanlike).

I'm sure glad this has become a topic. I
should hope that it gets included in an
FAQ if one exists or is in the works.

Best all,

Eric
