Students in other classes want to be added to The List. They sound like some sort of drug fiends:
Underclassman: "Yo, Baratunde, we go way back right?"
Me: "Yeah, way back to last semester."
Underclassman: "I heard your class has some wild stuff. Something about a list. Can I be down?"
Me: "No."
Underclassman: "Please, man. Just a lil' whiff. One message, just one message!"
Me: "Go back to your coloring book, child."
Sadly, some underclassmen have been known to spontaneously combust upon being exposed to The List.
Yes, The List definitely has had some benefits:
First. A knowledge base. If I have a question, I take it to The List.
"When is that paper due?"
"Why is Barbie so damned happy?"
"Who is Harvey Mansfield?"
"Why does Harvey Mansfield hate us?"
"How can we get rid of Harvey Mansfield?"
