Just as a slightly related point of interest to this group, there's a
programme on Radio 4 this morning, maybe at 11am, about plagiarism and the
sale of pre-written and custom-written essays over the Internet, and
related matters. It has been much trailed in BBC news today. There's a
sequence where Prof Charles Oppenheim marks essays purchased (spoiler:
they don't do very well).

p.s. Hello to all those people out of their office. I always look forward
to finding out your mobile numbers, or that you are on holiday in some
nice location, or the contact details of your colleagues.
