As far as I know he's still teaching (10+years later). He was a good teaching prof when I had him (unusual for large state schools). He got tenure shortly thereafter.

See, David, I'm so used to your wise real estate insights, I believe anything you tell me! I'll have to turn up my reality filter from now on. Looks like Susan has quite an opposing viewpoint. Personally, I don't see why they can't use the twist ties everywhere instead of just in a few cities. Hahahahahaha!

I was kidding a little. DDT has been banned in the US since 1972 (unfairly in my opinion, but never mind). :) Heh. I was kidding a little.

But if DDT is non-toxic, I'd much rather it be used. Maybe I'll e-mail my councilmembers and suggest that.
