I like your 'about me' statement. It's rather like my own philosophy I think. I tell my students that the supreme scholarly qualities are curiosity, honesty and modesty. Curious people ask good questions. Your only hope of getting to a truthful answer lies in being honest about what you see. And modesty keeps you from falling for your own BS. There's a Taoist saying that I really like: the more you know, the less you understand. Perhaps it's a bit over the top but it fits with my experience of scholarship. Anyway, nice blog<BR/>David BetzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
