· I have nothing against Axel Dorscht's seminar/tutorial - I took it myself
2-3 years ago. But note that you'll not be in a discussion-group with him;
if you don't agree with Dr Dorscht, you can (now, but not on that earlier
occasion) discuss it with other participants, but Axel himself had no
interest in doing more than clarifying what he's presenting to you. Note
the bits I've underlined (above) in his announcement.

· Even though I was a(n assistant) physics professor at Carleton University
Ottawa Canada, from Sept. '76 to Dec. '79 (calendar-'79 I was on secondment
to ABU, Zaria Nigeria), I knew only the members of the Physics Dept then,
and can say nothing about Dr Dorscht's current connection with Carleton. I
can say that the series of discussion papers is likely (IMO) to be full
notes for a university lecture series. Quite similar to the paragraphs he
gives in his announcement (hard to wade through, even for an academic like
me).

· For any further comment, including how long I stuck with the course,
e-mail directly to me.
