<p>I again restate that compared to many of us with substantial good and bad experience with the academic enterprise, you seem very negative and frustrated. I do hope that venting in this forum is relieving you of some of the very obvious stress that you display in your long postings. I also hope that this is not the only method or forum that you deal with this. I also hope that you are not trapped in a poorly fitting academic situation and have found something more rewarding for yourself.</p>
