Dear Readers and Students,
This is the stuff that my lawyer Eileen makes me post here. But that doesn't mean I'm happy about it, so I want to add this note to you. When I walk past a parked car with an alarm light flashing inside it, I don't get hurt feelings. I know that it isn't aimed at me or anybody like me. In a big city like San Francisco, there are a few, rare people out there who make that device necessary. The Internet is a big city too, and Eileen's legal stuff, which follows, works just like a kind of alarm/lock she's installing on my car.
Best wishes,
Prof. L.
