Hi Everyone,

I would like to suggest that we drop the thread or bring it to focus on 
something less invidious than students vs. townies.  I think it goes 
without saying that academia has many faults - but the autodidact is 
often a victim of his own whims and idiosyncracies.

If this thread is to go on, it would surely be more polite (and more 
instructive) if the autodidacts spoke a little bit about the problems 
with their method and the academically trained made note of the various 
problems with academia.

I am currently entering into a CS program, so I guess I fall into the 
second category.  However, I am going to hold my tongue.

Let everyone sweep in front of his own door and the whole world will be 
clean.
