A teacher explains what is known to those who dont' yet know it. A researcher studies what is known to find out what isn't known, then attempts to make the inknown into the known. Both teachers and researchers, well, the good ones, at least, spend a fair amount of time in libraries, that being where knowledge is kept.Librarians organize such knowledge, often making themselves quite familiar with it in the process. I have spent a fair amount of time organizing and learning from one of the greatest libraries in the word, for it's chosen subject matter. I am a Librarian, most certainly. I was enroute to a place where the unknown was happening and there was much to be discovered, and on more than one subject. I haven't even gotten there, yet, and I have had some success. I would say I am a Researcher. Until meeting you people I had never had need nor opportunity to teach. I have found that the earmark of a great teacher is being able to reach the poorest of students. I may or may not be a Teacher.<br><br>"Now, what sort of Student are you? I ask because it isn't a Vong I want to study. it's one of the Katai sensing devices, which you seem to have misunderstood.The devices seem to do much too much at one time. I would study one to learn how and why...and possibly how to block them entirely. Then again, it could just be we're jumping at shadows and attributing more to them than they can actually do, which is also worth finding out." <br><br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px;"><love_to_travel_mark@yahoo.com><pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl><longshot@cybermax.net><zzzhtml><zzzbody><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div>-----------<br>Whitney shakes his head [deleted for space]</div>
<div>"Oh, and I'm a researcher, not a student. Specifically because I not only paid attention to my lessons, but went the extra step and thought about them, as well."<br>-----------</div>
<div>Ha'Kell is watching this conversation with a very amused look on his face, still not sure what to make of the librarian after all this time. "I thought you were a librarian? Are you a teacher as well?" </div>
<div> </div>
<div>"I agree with you, we should refrain from using certain words. I don't want any of us in jail for a loose tongue."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Speaking with force, the half-elf's expression becoming stoney, much like it was with the traitor, "They aren't people, they're invaders. Spawn that could destroy all of us, everywhere. Don't forget that, we aren't here to try and tame one as a pet. They give no mercy or quarter, I expect all us to treat them the same way."</div>
