They'll never know.<BR/><BR/>joe...<BR/>i didn't know you could print on latex. i've just been using it for lab gloves.

I imagine it is a suspicion most students have, but for him to just come out and say it is crazy.<BR/><BR/>You should have had a extra copy just to burn it in front of him like it was the only copy.<BR/><BR/>It is a good thing I didn't continue my education further or else I would be putting swear words in my dissertation.<BR/><BR/>And that note from the other guy seems like just more rattling of your cage.<BR/><BR/>Maybe one of the other committee members will give you this note:<BR/>"Thanks for spending months writing something I will not pay any attention to, sucker. It is going right into the recycle bin. Psyche! I AM GOING TO PUT IT IN THE REGULAR TRASH! Mwa ha ha ha! You fell right into our trap to make you pollute the earth more!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
