Just a random aside - is anyone else getting increasingly annoyed by these mass-mailed out survey requests from students?

Annoyed, not particularly. Scared, yes: it's long been known that a field=FIELD is moribund when people start getting "PhDs in FIELD" for dissertations in "The History of FIELD". I suspect that that same concept applies to theses on "ADJECTIVE Management Practices in FIELD".

This guy, however, has been at it for over a month, this is his fourth (or so) mailing. I think an entry in the Mailman persona-non-grata list may be appropriate.
