Allison,
   
  I am flattered and honored that you would want to use anything that I have posted! I think I feel a lot like you do--a little out of my league sometimes on this listserve, but so appreciative of the various insights that I gain from everyone's queries and comments.
   
  I would like to see what you are using, just out of curiosity.
   
  By the way, my last name is Baird.
   
  thanks--keep up the posts!

  All,

I've been keeping up with most of the discussions on the LISTSERV in order to increase my knowledge of the scholarship and ideas concerning the teaching of English and especially grammar. Some of the discussions about English grammar have really caught my attention, and I'm hoping that, with your permission, I may be able to use some of the material here in places in my thesis. I have narrowed the material I would like to use down to a few authors, and I would like to ask their permission to use their words or ideas in my paper:

Craig Hancock, Paul Doniger, Jan Kammert, Bruce Despain, Cynthia (I regret that I don't know your last name), and Marshall Myers.

I can send the passages I would especially like to use to any of you if you wish to look at it and make sure I'm not using something you'd rather not have printed. These passages run back to February of this year. Also, for the others posting on the list, please understand that I am not trying to be selective in whom I have chosen. Many of these discussions (or at least the ones I understood :) ) have further enlightened me about English in general, and I think I can now safely say that I am a recovering prescriptivist, and much humbled in my continued work in my university's writing center.

Thank you all again for allowing me to hang out, as it were; even though I don't post often, I still read and try to understand. I appreciate that you treat me as a peer of sorts even though I am not as well versed in the discipline; it means a lot.
