**Robin** , I was going to send you an email to tell you this personally rather than getting mushy and stuff on a message board but I can’t since you don’t have email turned on - so, let me just say that you’re really an inspiration to me as I’m going to school now too. I’m very proud of you, and hope that I can do half as well. 🙂 ---

**MsRobyn** , sorry to hijack your thread, I would have preferred to email you with this question, but … Anyway, I am involved with a boyscout group who are having a Scavenger Hunt. One of the items is a postcard from a service man in Iraq. Any chance that Airman Doors would send me one? (My email address is in my profile, send me an email and I’ll get you my address.) Thanks Ron ---

Way cool **MsRobyn**! Any plans for your thesis? Perhaps, “Boards On The Internet - Fighting Ignorance Or Propagating Propaganda?” ---

I just checked, and I was mis-remembering. 3.8 and higher is summa cum laude. I got a 3.762, so I got magna. HIGH magna, but magna. I’m so humiliated. :rolleyes: 😉 **DMark** , I’m planning to do my thesis on payola, and specifically, attitudes and ethics. I want to answer the question: “Is payola even wrong?” The department chair and my advisor are really excited about this topic. Payola is coming up as a problem again, but it’s not really “sexy”.

If it’s any consolation, when I graduated undergrad, I think my professors said: **He’s Gone! Oh Lawdy!"** 😃 What? It’s funny down here in the south. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/congratulations-ms-robyn/336166.md?page=1)
