(changed thread name as we're going way off original topic)
also it might make people here more than a little chary of answering any
thread that you initiate, DG, as it *might* be presumed that you SUDDENLY have
an essay to write and are after ideas
interesting moral question that, though; this list is *massively* helpful in
sharing references, passing ideas and suggestions around, with no motive other
than sharing scholarship and knowledge. I'd be pretty annoyed if something i
said here was taken and pasted into an essay for a student to buy, without
acknowledging me as a source of the words... especially so if a google of any
particular sentence in that "student" essay hits on a page that contains those
same words in something i've written for an online journal or something
