What... the web is suppose to be serious? All students must be
serious? You must be joking

'Students' should be serious or otherwise they are wasting their
time and their own or their parents money.

I hereby "Dan L" declares "The Web and Usenet is for LEARNING, FUN
and ENJOYMENT for all nationalities!" If someone wants to be
serious that is OK also Either way the student gets a passing
grade

If you're an old fart and/os someone who is just using the web or
usenet for recreation then I'd agree with you. On students who are
engaged in study then I have very different thoughts.

Yes, I am old and decrepit Life is too short to be serious. In the
immortal words of King Solomon "Eat, Drink and be Merry". Gardening
is a recreational hobby that helps me physically and in spirit.

I have a Masters Degree in Computer Science. A waste of time and
money. I have learned much more from my own personal studies and in
other fields than in a highly structured university. Universities are
like cattle factories in producing a bland product. Professors are
useless creatures that uses whips and chains (grades and test) when
it comes to learning. I enjoy learning much more from a good book
than taking a highly structured class. Anarchism is better than order


Enjoy Life... Dan

All good and fine, we have much in common. For those who _are_ taking
formal courses they are wasting their time, someone's money and (if they
post questionaries here) our time if they don't put in some effort to get
the most from that imperfect process. That is what I meant by "serious" but
you already know that I think.
