Well, I just ran a scan on all of Lugnet, using PhD as the search term, and
there's no post from Scott saying what his doctorate is in. I also tried
just searching debate and using Doctor, again, nothing relevant, then I
tried Doctor and Arthur, again nothing. Using Doctor with no restrictor
gives too many posts to reasonably search.
AHA, I said, I bet it's on Scott's member page. So I went to /members (which
is not the right place and doesn't give you a useful error message), then
/members/, (ALSO not the right place, thought you were going to fix that,
Todd?) but finally cottoned on to it being /people/members/ (what other
sorts of members do we have besides people? :-) )
That was a bust, Scott apparently isn't a member. I'm not sure if I'm
surprised or not. Should I be dismayed? Not really. You don't have to be a
member to be a big contributor to the LUGNET millieu.
So, Scott, give us a better clue... it's not under PhD anywhere on Lugnet.
Or you could admit you're for some reason not willing to let us know what
field it is in. I have no idea why that would be.
BTW anyone who wants to know what my degrees are in has merely to ask, it's
a two sentence answer. While it's technically homework, it's easy to answer
and I'm willing. The kind of homework I object to doing for others is the
kind where several thousand words of explanantion are needed, said words
being findable in this group with less effort than what I just expended
trying to find an answer to the very simple question, "what is the field of
study of Scott's doctorate?"
