DSoM: FYI:
In order to read some…most… of your articles, I must “Zoom Out” to a point where I also must put on my glasses OR I must ‘scan’ back-and-forth.
Both of these alternatives are discomforting and unacceptable unless the subject matter is so vital, in my mind, that I proceed in spite of my annoyance.
I suggest that the width of your articles are no more than half of the ‘unzoomed’ page because I refuse to alter my settings in so drastic a manner in comparison with the other websites I frequent daily.
Sincerely,
Ron Edge

Hi Michael. My ex-husband (also Michael, Colfer) just told me about your current activities, remembering how very much I’d enjoyed the class I took from you in 1970, immediately after I’d taken my pre-docs at UW and was very sick of anthropology. I made a ‘revolutionary stitchery’ on burlap, as my class project (tired also of writing papers), which you wanted me to give to you—it was brown and black and grey squares/rectangles to the lower left, with a bright red ‘bloody’ slash across the diagonal; and butterflies, flowers, and bright colors to the upper right. More important probably is the effect your class had on me. It opened my eyes to a whole world that had been basically censored for my generation (having to do with Marx’s writing, and others of that ilk). I truly learned more, in terms of holistic understandings, from your class than from any other class I can think of. I confess, at this late date, that I was slighlty enamoured of you as well.
Anyway, just thought I’d let you know you’d had a good influence on at least one of your students. Cheers, Carol J. Pierce Colfer
