What and how must they be teaching 'anything' at the University of Texas
if Bill Jefferys of the Astronomy Dept fame asks, "what good is the 
reference of an umpublished manuscript?"  I don't know what he uses for
research but when I do research it is quite common to see such unpublished
sources mentioned.  The one sited may be obtained by writing to the address
given I would presume.  Many 'unpublished' sources are kept on file for the
public to use and so mentioned in all kinds of scholarship.

I just referenced Bill's unpublished? posting to the net, eh?  If he cares
to reply to me he can reference mine.  Of course I can ask what good is it.

Bill, I find your signature line by Blaise Pascal about the evil men do in
the name of religion very interesting.  You realize of course Pascal was a
VERY religious man, as seen in his PENSES, and while his statement is very
true, in no way has anything to say about religious conviction per se at all.
Just how/ why DO you use this particular signature line??
