Hi folks.
So some would like to hear about the CHAT pre-session...
Here's one rendition:

While "between sessions" at AERA, a participant in the pre-session came over
to tell me that one of the prganizers had been asked by a friend of his at an
art exhibition how the pre-session went. The organizer apparently said that
it was pretty good, but that the pre-session was "dominated by feminists" -

in particular "moi", quel surprise! Not.

And what is funny is that I don't actually recall even mentioning
"feminism"....

I had a lovely time at the pre-session, actually. It was wonderful finally to
put faces to names, and the content was very rich.

I wonder what "feminist" is a code name for?
