I'm not certain whether "numbskull" is taking a semester off, or whether it dropped out for good. We weren't able to find anyone willing to extend it sufficient credit to finish out the Spring '09 session though. The decision was obviously not unanimous, but it seemed to have morphed into something more akin to: "hey - is this right?" over the past year.

There's no reason why individual threads can't be started whenever something spectacularly ignorant is found.
