The life of a San Diego's adjunct professor
Actually, it is you who seems to have missed the point. The "seems to have joined the Reader simply to respond" is completely accurate. Try reading my comment again. What I wrote, in a reply to your comment posted yesterday, was "your current comment is directed towards a comment made 4 1/2 years ago, by someone who seems to have joined the Reader simply to respond to your initial response and from whom we have not heard from since." Put more simply for you, you replied yesterday, 6/9/2018, to a comment made on 12/24/2013, by someone who joined the Reader on that day, responded to a comment that you made at that time, and has never been heard from again. What about that don't you get? The "seems to have joined the Reader simply to respond" is clearly a reference to the other person who posted the comment you replied to yesterday, and not to you.— June 10, 2018 2:09 p.m.

Well alrighty then. But as I see it, the length of time that you have been writing for the reader has no relevance at all to my comment, no part of which questioned, mused about or even waxed philosophically about the length of time that you have been contributing, as a writer, to the Reader.— June 10, 2018 9:33 a.m.

So let me see if I understand correctly. Your above reply is directed toward someone who responded to you about a comment in which, while playing the role of schoolmarm, you attempted to correct a third person on the "correct" usage of "could care less" vs. "couldn't care less". Not an atypical response on your part. Except in this case, your current comment is directed towards a comment made 4 1/2 years ago, by someone who seems to have joined the Reader simply to respond to your initial response and from whom we have not heard from since. Three question come to mind. First, how long did it take you to find the previous exchange from Dec. 2014? Second, how bored did you have to be to even contemplate looking for it? And finally, WHY???!!!. BTW, both a Harvard University linguist and an Oxford University etymologist, among many others, agree that the usage of either is fine in that the intent of each is clearly the same, sarcasm, and many dictionaries recognize “could care less” as an American colloquialism. BTW Part II, my 3 questions above were rhetorical. I don't expect, nor do I want a response. To use the American colloquialism, I could really care less. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— June 10, 2018 7:15 a.m.

Some of Our Students are Starting Their Own Bookkeeping Businesses
Dude, this is spam. There have been at least 2 or 3 dozen of these type of posts in the past month or so. All brand new users on that day who mostly are never heard from again unless they come back to re-post the same drivel. NOT to be taken seriously. Don't waste your time responding. Just flag for removal and move on.— June 4, 2018 2:28 p.m.
Convention center donor's styrofoam agenda
Well, it seems to me that if a ban is placed on the use of polystyrene food and beverage containers within the city, then those operating within the city will be forced to comply, much like the forced compliance created after an increase in minimum wage. So instead of resisting, they will simply have to choose between absorbing the small cost increase or passing, either a portion or all of it along to their customers.— June 4, 2018 8:52 a.m.
Convention center donor's styrofoam agenda
Biodegradable containers made from plant fiber. Made from chlorine free bleached sugarcane bagasse, natural wheat straw, miscanthus grass fiber and a few others i can't remember right now. They are are petroleum free, grease resistant, can be used for hot or cold foods, microwaveable, biodegradable and compostable.— June 2, 2018 6:39 a.m.

Water polluted by tossed bikes
"It costs $1 an hour to ride" Actually, it is $1.00 for 30 minutes, 50 cents for 30 minutes for students with a .edu email address. Or you can always get a monthly subscription for $29.95 ($14.95 for students) and get a 100 rides.— May 29, 2018 7:46 a.m.
