What a miserable piece of self-pitying dross this is.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't waste my time on this kind of sourness. But it's so
_very_ selfish. There was Suzanne Huffman, celebrating her degree- and in a
particularly generous way, by thanking the world- and there's Bill
Chambers, vomiting his bile over her joy.

Bill: "Where's the beef", as you put it?

Why on earth should Suzanne necessarily be aware of, or interested in, your
own ideas on topics you have listed above? Why expect a person to be aware
of your own concerns as a condition of doctoral probity?

Good heavens, Bill. Don't you remember the happiness of your own
doctorate... with just a little fondness? Why spoil it for Suzanne?
