I never cease to be amazed at Jeffrey's prolific prolixity, of course, but think, too, of how much of that prolixity is spent on lavishing praise on *other* scholars' books, articles, projects, etc. This kind of generosity is, unfortuneately, rare in our field, and while many may rave privately about their favorite subjects, Jeffrey takes the time to make his sentiments more public, and always in a personally heartfelt and brave manner. BABEL does not deserve [yet] the praise Jeffrey gives it, but we'll certainly do our best to live up to it.<BR/><BR/>On another note, I'm beginning to think that Jeffrey, whom I have never met, is participating with me in an experiment of intellectual symbiosis of which I am unaware. In his posting on BABEL, he mentions our "cheek" as well as the idea of how important it is that we [not just BABEL, but all of "us academics"] never take ourselves too seriously. Just this morning [while stumbling around a very windy and gloomy and rainy Cambridge Univ. city centre, and before reading Jeffrey's post on BABEL], I was going over notes I had made while at medieval congress in Kalamazoo this past May, regarding various ideas/notions/philosophical points I wanted to add to BABEL website and one of them had to do with the importance of BABEL remaining somewhat anti-deological; the other had to do with "humaneness" and "playfulness" (and humor, more generally) as being central to BABEL's objectives. I have since added them to the site, just at the end of our so-called "mission statement."<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Jeffrey. Thank you. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>--Eileen JoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
