Just a few minutes ago I ceded to a former student of mine my copyright to an entire essay (albeit a short one) that I've recently (re-)written. It may sound crazy, but given this freakish streak of charitableness that I have with me, it is not impossible. I have been prodigal in everything that I have, possessions, time, effort, even my personal secrets. You may find it incredulous, given my disrepute as a miser and as a greedy individual, but I enjoy surprising people with the little good that I can muster every now and then.
I do not intend to justify my surrender of the damned essay, as my charity needs no justification except itself. Besides, I can make another essay on the same matter, and I can readily defend it against accusations of unoriginality. I merely pray that my student can defend her rights to the essay by accepting its ideas as her own.
MJJyS, I pray that with your thesis, you should, as Churchill would have it, "KBO." An advanced Merry Christmas, despite the grotesque gift you'd have to receive from me.
