[Buddha-l] Happy Halloween! Buddha-L is defunct!

[donna Bair-Mundy]

Aloha,
   Please reconsider.
   Buddha-l is often the only high point of my day.  I'm not kidding.
   I realize that sometimes the dialogue disintegrates into vituperative 
swipes but even in the midst of those there are often little gems of 
information embedded in the sediment.
   Many of us have lives in which we must focus our attention throughout 
much of the day on the rather dreary administrative trivia that is 
required of everyone who teaches at a university these days.  What 
percentage of my students achieved which levels of attainment regarding 
Student Learning Objective 3b, to be recorded in a spreadsheet, for 
example.
   It is such a relief when one opens one's e-mail and spots a series of 
messages from Buddha-l.  Honestly, it perks me up with anticipation when I 
move the cursor down to click on those e-mails.
   Please don't take that away.

                    	Have a safe and joyful day,
