1. Do male archivists have beards to hide their double chins? I know I do.
2. For 60,000 pounds I will consider taking any of the new Chairs of Gender
Studies on the archive training courses.
3. Isn't it wonderful thinking of the wide community of archivists currently
huddled over their pcs watching this debate (why aren't you getting on with some
proper work?)
4. I hope we all get a mention in Debbie O'Brien's dissertation as we've nearly
written it for her.

Speaking as the proud owner of a beard (well almost, it's a goatee at the
moment) I found it rather strange that a fellow beardie such as Richard
should make a comment about beards without thinking about the
consequences. After all, the general public often thinks that the
archetypal male archivist is an unsocial beardie wearing a crumpled jacket
with elbow patches, and is to be found alongside his cardigan-wearing
female colleagues.
As to the flogging issue, I expect Richard was suitably chastised by his
other half when he got home last night.
