[CAUT] Faculty as Colleagues, was Steinway... The "Safe" Piano.

[Jeff Tanner]

Fred,
You really misunderstand me.  I realize my writing style comes across as 
more crass.  But I am not and never have been angry or outraged.  Frustrated 
and overstressed near to the point of mental breakdown, perhaps, and so yes, 
bitter with that regard.  But never angry or outraged.

And I am still a CAUT, but now like you, not a full time one, without the 
prison-like walls and restrictions of freedom and income that accompany the 
FT job.
Tanner
