Subject: lab equipment/bibliographies/"exciting" research From: Judith Brown <brown(at)MEDIA.MIT.EDU> Date: Fri, 5 Apr 1996 13:04:24 -0500| Date: Thu, 4 Apr 1996 15:52:40 -0800 | Reply-To: Edward Burns <pwa(at)U.WASHINGTON.EDU> | X-To: AUDITORY(at)VM1.MCGILL.CA | | Not surprisingly, I agree with Feth. | | As for: | >helping people get started in our exciting research field. | | Al, get a grip. In 10 years nobody will care about 95% of our "exciting | research." | | Ed Burns | Another way to look at it is 95% of the previous research as well chaff among the wheat, and knowlegable people can save newcomers the pain of triage. Why not save somebody a lot of time when it only takes a few minutes, and may even get other on the list to read some papers they wouldn't have known about? But then I like to ask for references for myself from time to time so I can't claim absence of bias ...
