Sorry that is an in-joke about academics, but could I suppose it may apply
to other situations as well.  It hinges on the philosophical version of
'project' (not Andy's collaborative project).

There is a strong disparity between what academics do and what they would
like to do (lock out the students, and do some writing), that this is where
the joke came from.

So, I should have sent it to you personally, sorry.
