<div>The "rule" was two posts a day, with exceptions for discussions that require timely responses, or for those who occasionally just can't help themselves with their enthusiasm for a topic (my own silly rule). Just ask unofficial Vision2020 referee, Bill London. Many never did follow this rule with consistency, while many still try to abide. I don't observe that there has been an abandonment of the rule of limiting posts, any more now than in the past.

<div>I track my posts by a monthly average, trying to keep this average well below 60.</div>

<br>>Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2006 13:50:28 -0800<br>><br>>Hail to the Vision!<br>><br>>I have a new rule for the V: if you have done your three posts for the day,<br>>but you have been insulted on the way, then you can waived the rule and
<br>>have your say.<br>><br>>I just returned from a visit to Houston where I visited my Indian Christian<br>>graduate student and gave a talk at Rice University. At the talk I was<br>>introduced as Professor Emeritus, not ex-professor. Emeritus status means
<br>>that I am a professor for life.<br>><br>>It does not mean inactive status. In addition to collaborating with my<br>>Indian friend (we are publishing a paper together), I picked up two<br>>graduate students at Rice who have been inspired by my book "Spiritual
<br>>Titanism." (Those interested can check out<br>><a href="http://www.class.uidaho.edu/ngier/steab.htm.">www.class.uidaho.edu/ngier/steab.htm.</a>) I will be working closely with them<br>>as they finish their dissertations.
<br>><br>>On Wednesday I will attend a meeting of Ph.D. committee on which I am<br>>outside reader. Next semester I will become major professor for a UI grad<br>>student in philosophy. I gave a guest lecture in Phil 309 last month and I
<br>>will do another one in Phil 307 next week.<br>><br>>I'm still publishing papers, reviewing articles and books, and making slow<br>>but steady process on my book "On the Origins of Religious Violence."
<br>><br>>I'm just as busy as when I was teaching and I'm loving every moment of it.<br>><br>>Nick Gier<br>><br>>=======================================================<br>> List services made available by First Step Internet,
