> so rarified an atmosphere that plebs feel distinctly unwelcome...

mmm, I can entirely sympathise with that, Maximus - but hey, we *are exceptionally cuddly here :)

But there are still some great resources, even for anyone who doesn't want to participate.

In reply to:

The Introductory documents (mini-FAQs). Newcomers to the a.u.e newsgroup should start with Intro A: Welcome and Guidelines for Posting, and will find further useful help and answers in Intros B, C, D, E, F, and G.
The large and fascinating AUE FAQ, written in 1997 by Mark Israel.
The AUE FAQ Supplement, containing additional entries from recent years.


What a bunch of wallies ... boy, do they take themselves seriously! Didya have a look at their rogues' gallery? More beards and long hair to the square foot than bedbugs in an old mattress. Obviously, I don't even need to read their FAQs, extended FAQs, supplementary FAQs, FAQs to the FAQs, appendices to the FAQs to the FAQs, corollaries to the FAQs, extensions, additions and alterations to the FAQs and OED Supplementary FAQs to the AUE FAQs to know that I don't wanna go there ...

Nonetheless, I followed their links and found the sine qua non of economics sites. Have a giggle:

grammar is nowhere good enough to allow me to post there without getting flamed.

Oooh. A hotbed of prescriptivists? Sounds like they need a Fool.

Problem with prescriptivists they got no respect for the language. It's all well and good if it toes their particular line, but they just can't take it on its own terms.

Sorry, I'm busy in 404 land.

Mav - It is a virtual cornucopia of links. Thanks.

...wallies. I can only imagine what it means, but it does sound good.
