Whoa, do I feel transparent!

Thanks for the response, Sam--here and in faculty-l. Yes: Advising/advice on everything: I need it, so put it out there. And you're right (I think)--it's pretty impossible not to be transparent these days. On the other hand, we may put all this stuff out there, let it hang out, and if no one reads it I guess we're not so transparent after all. We'll see.

The funny thing is, I set up this blog to be opaque to people outside Fine Arts and Humanities. Thinking we could have private conversations. Is that crazy, or just wrong? I don't think I'll change it right now, though of course we could open it up. And any halfway hacker can get in, I suppose. And anytime anyone wants to, they can paste things from here to faculty-l or anywhere else (or put them on a sandwich board in front of Gladfelter, for crying out loud). Anyway, something to think about. So good on ye for taking it to faculty-l.

And now I should zoomerang that advising questionnaire back to Gretchen--I'm one of the bad ones!
