    From James Nicoll@3:633/280.2 to All on Mon Jun 9 09:11:16 2025
    I swung by a local used bookstore to pick up a book I ordered, which
    meant I was in the right place at the right time hear the confused
    customer next to me ask "What's speculative fiction?" Which, after
    I explained what it meant, was followed by the question. "Do you
    know anything about Andre Norton?"

    It was only with great effort that I resisted shouting "BEHOLD! I
    _AM_Marshall McLuhan" before helping.

    |I heard what you were saying.
    |You know nothing of my work.
    |You mean my whole fallacy is wrong.
    |How you ever got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing.
