I have been off-an-on absent a lot lately dealing with a programming problem with my student board, and with students themselves, a time-consuming problem at the best of times, and in that time I have noticed some changes here. Several of you have clearly decided to treat me as a kind of object of ridicule, someone for everyone to gang up on and constantly put down with belittling remarks, the clown of the board. Well, all I can say is that if you all intend to continue in this manner then I shall definitely be staying.
