Dear Tetgren,
What an endearing comment! Mr. Morse is a musician, not an instructor, but
as a musician, he has probably learned to make every word count. I was
forced by a sociology teacher in college to write 3-4 reviews of books or
articles every day, on a 3X5 index card. She called them "precis". If it
didn't fit on the index card, we had to "boil it down." It was a great
discipline! I used to read just about everything on the List, but have
gotten more selective in recent times (today there are 67 messages -- I'd be
here all day, and paying by the minute for my Internet time, too!) so now I
cut to the chase and read the items from people I enjoy or can learn from,
selected news articles, or selected topics of interest. Some of the very
long articles are worth it, and I print them out to be read later. Many I
just skip. I wonder what other people are doing?
