Emcee: LPS5	Type: Moderated

Introduction Compact

Or, "A Libertarian in Academia."

A forum for occasional anecdotiana including, but not limited to: the collision of theory and reality, political correctness, humor, paradoxes, and terrified administrators.

Alas, but LPS5 is no more.

So come one - come all! - as 2.718281828459045235 ("e") becomes a machine for turning coffee into theorems.
