[academicsecret] 8/07/2006 09:53:11 AM

Part of the fun of a secret society is the trying to guess. But really, even assuming that you have a blog listed in the side bar (which are all anonymous), I'd guess that the chances of anyone figuring it out are very slim. I think the best part of this is the ability to not be guarded about what we say; I can say things flatly, without couching it in nicer language or doing anything other than making sure that I don't use any names or identifying markers.

Why do academics gossip so much? I mean, yes, I know it's lots and lots of fun, but is there another reason?
