You should've just ignored it. For so many reasons. I have a handout on e-mail etiquette if you'd like to borrow it. Or, there's an F bat I'm sure Alan could lend you.
I'm currently carving a new saying- "BIG FAT CLUE" backwards in a new bat so the person can see it coming. Alan Students who are that dense probably wouldn't "get it." And yeah, a student who is that disrespectful doesn't deserve a response to his email. Good point. The bat may not leave the proper impression upon someone who has a very dense head. Therefore, they may get it but not "get it". Alan Yup. It might make the bat-wielder feel better, but I envision splinters flying everywhere as the BFC bat shattered across dense idiot's caveman-like brow. How about a branding iron? |

It has potential. My fear is that those in so desperate need of a clue will not be able to read it...in which case, there is no hope. |

"I am a worthless, ill-mannered git" might be more to the point but that wouldn't fit so well on a branding iron. |

[This is an MBA student] Dr. O,
I have found an article that I would really like to use as a global analogy for our group research paper on environmental accounting. The article is at http://www.iabc.org/cost-of-oil.html and is titled "How much does a gallon of gas cost?" I also really like the "Motor Gasoline Price Graph" ( third graph from the top) at http://something.about.com/blah/blah/page_of_many_graphics_and_figures_borrowed_from_published_sources.htm
*How do I properly reference these articles?* The first item seems to lack the needed basic information for proper referencing. The second one is better, but still confusing to me. I probably just don't know where to look. The last time I did formal referencing was years before Al Gore invented the internet.
thanks,
Joe Well... let's see. This is an MBA student. He thinks he should be citing a webpage that has no author identified and no sources and he should be using random graphics that are shown on about.com but are sourced from various publications. Hello? Did anyone ever tell you anything about citing and sources? Permissions and plagiarism? I mean, before the hour lecture I gave you on this topic weeks ago. MBA student? Hello? Maybe, just maybe... this is a sign: "The first item seems to lack the needed basic information for proper referencing." |

Sorry. I thought that didn't look right, but I'm so high on my cough medicine, I wasn't sure.
Oh well.

Don't worry. It's always hard to figure out how those aliens spell things. |
