However, thank you for reading an article written about my article, even if you didn't bother to dig deeper. If you'd like to see the data you think I probably faked, I'm happy to send you a copy. Your desire not to employ me is noted - I will remember not to bother applying."Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910925102347498027.post-16266939484964450932013-05-27T11:15:17.915-04:002013-05-27T11:15:17.915-04:00I'm sorry about this.

Of course he wouldn't give you a job if you went to Purdue, or me (Buffalo).<br /><br />I've tried to repoint the gag with your name in it. It's still not funny, alas, but at least it's not offensive to you, I hope, because that is not what I meant at all.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.com
