ORIGINAL: Prinsexx Then it seems reasonable that the articles you cited would've been the works of other academics that you've read - which makes my instincts (from your previous post) the stuff of legend, surely? & & & , too! Focus. Dear Focus: i am not used to having to defend myself as pain has made me very thick skinned. However, as is the tradition of the academic style, it tends to go in ever decreasing circles up its own academic arsehole as weight of reference to other peoples' works seem to some sort of proof of credence and credibility. So: you got me stuck between the rock of others' academic works and the hard place of my own experience. PS i like being stuck between a rock and a hard place..... The proverb I had in mind (re academics) states that "birds of a feather flock together" - nothing so personal or borderline malicious as "validation" or questioning your credibility. Focus.
