Ned can't help himself:
First, are you quoting someone else or yourself?

Next, Have you heard of John Holt? I met John, heard him speak, read all his
books and have a lot in common with him (similar school/same college,
similar interests. I can say with deep conviction that he transformed my
life with his writings about education and children in general, even though
he never married and had no kids.

And then there's a guy they call Pope John who seems to know a little about
kids.

I appreciate many of your posts, but I don't get this one.
