   Hi,   
      
   So you say I was your logic teacher? I doubt   
   so. Who was your logic teacher from the cradle   
   to the appearance of the internet, when   
      
   you still had to carry heavy paper books, while   
   visiting the lake front in summer, looking for   
   a shadowy tree, and the enjoying some logic?   
      
   What books did you read ? What people did you know ?   
      
   Bye
