Folks -
I've tried three times to post a follow up regarding my first week teaching
WW class.... My message is text only, natch, and shorter than many of the
other posts here. I am going to post it in two parts, immediately following
this message.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Yeah. It's *working*. All 3 and 2-halves times now. <grin>
Why _you're_ not seeing it is a separate question.
Either Prodigy's news-server is fouled up -- which wouldn't be (a) surprising,
or (b) the first time -- or your news-reader is just not showing it to you.

Maybe he read one of his own posts without realizing it, disagreed with it,
and killfiled himself.

BTW, interesting to read--don't know your age, but I don't think I could
tolerate the present attitudes in a classroom any more--I'm too old and
set in my ways, methinks.
Haven't tried to teach a shop class, but even the local community
college pre-engineering and math/physics classes I taught a couple years
ago strained my patience beyond what I would care to do for any length
of time...the attitude relative to when I went to school is so different
that unless one were there all along I don't think it would be at all
easy to adjust---and I can only imagine the additional problems in metro
areas... :(
That said, if you can hang in there and give them some guidance, I'm all
for ya'...

I always thought that one of the last paying jobs I would have would be to
teach at the college level. I did it during grad school, and enjoyed it
quite a bit. And teaching and mentoring was always an enjoyable part of my
career in industry, too.
But I'm changing. I'm less patient with everything than I used to be.
Even people I really enjoy need to be taken on in smaller doses, and I'm a
lot less tolerant of crowds/situations in which I have limited control.
I had an invitation to consider teaching in the local adult ed, and have
let it pass. I really enjoy helping and explaining, but I like to know
that I can walk away when I'm not in the mood to listen to someone else's
screaming machines.

I saw all three of your posts & the part 1 & 2. Sometimes my ISP drops
my posts when they are "too" long (e.g. some sections of the antifaq).
When my posts don't show up, I check google a few hours later to make
sure whether I need to post it again.

I don't, but news servers can be funny things and not all ISP's
provide reliable access to Usenet, as other replies have indicated.
In the future, if you have doubts about a post showing up, you might
try searching for it at groups.google.com. They archive all Usenet
content (excepting binaries, I believe).

I have seen everything you have posted.
Who is your ISP? Sometimes my ISP drops my outgoing messages. But I can
read replys to them.

I had a troll who targeted me once. He used my e-mail addy as his e-mail
address. When I killfiled him, I killfiled myself. Once I figured it out, I
went back and reversed it. He had to keep changing his addy because people
didn't like him. Once I corrected the killfile, I was OK.
