   It is amazing how some people can find the slightest excuse to air
their prejudices on the net.  I ask the reader (and you, too,
Kendall) to take a look at Arash's article and then read Kendall's
article.  Decide for yourself if Arash's article deserved the response
it got from Kendall.

   Even if you give Kendall the benefit of the doubt and assume that
he (she?) means that foreign students "who don't attend lecture" cheat
(rather than inferring that all foreign students cheat), his is still
making a sweeping generalization of a complex issue.  I am glad I
don't have to take a course from you.
