To all my talk page watchers who are also Dr Who watchers. I thought I would post this here rather than on each of your pages. Tonight's episode has been anticipated by those of use who also enjoyed '']'' as Ben Browder has a guest role. Not a true crossover since he won't be playing John Crichton but it should be fun anyway. If you could wave a wand what other crossover would you like to see? One of mine is to see an episode of '']'' that features the characters from '']''. Just think of the possibilities Lister and Fry, the Cat and Zoidberg, Kryten and Bender the mind boggles (or reels back in horror heehee) oh and Rimmer and Zap Branigan. Well I know those of you across the pond get the ep in a couple hours while the rest of us have a full Saturday to fill so Cheers to you all. ] | ] 16:29, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

My word against any other.
I've never read any Oscar Wilde so I can't say anything.
All I know is that if a guy knows the concepts of labor division and is smart enough to point out the weakness in an accepted economic model- and with some math - he qualifies as an economist.

What is an economist?
One who studies the production and consumption of goods and services.


== Merry Christmas ==
What are Ruskin's ideas?
When the accepted theory focused on efficient production through profit seeking, which includes incentives to work harder, Ruskin felt that this was incomplete.
Now you may say he was drawing heavily from some abstract known as Jesus of Nazareth, but inadvertently he proposed a fine solution to contracts of labor.


{| class="messagebox standard-talk" style="border: 6px solid #FF4646; background-color:#46CB18;"
In harsher words, there is but one trivial and best solution to bargaining, such that it produces maximum benefit. This solution is one that allows the employer and the employee to produce goods with maximum "social affection", in Ruskin's terminology. It is commonly known as reciprocity.

Ruskin also formalizes the stakeholding capacity of labor, this may be construed as being Socialist, but we know that Ruskin preceded communism.I don't know whether the movements in France and the States had an influence on him, but he must be given credit for not maligning or breeding mistrust against those who owned rights, Land and Capital, while bringing home the point. He, in fact, was a champion of the Leader, as an individual, who holds together his people.


== Happy Christmas ==
This reveals a very balanced mind, apolitical, and that to me is one criterion to being a researcher.


<div style="border-style:solid; border-color:red; background-color:green; border-width:1px; text-align:left; padding:8px;" class="plainlinks">]]]<br/>
His criticism of traditional economic theory based on utility and welfare is simple as he is skeptical of the use of mathematical expressions that justify consumption as a reason for existence. This may push him into philosophy, but he is careful in letting us know that Economics is also about Production,Quality and Ethics.

M, the "it's not American!" brigade are back at it on the Downton Abbey article.

It also brings up a larger issue -- how many other similar BBC/PBS or ITV/PBS co-productions are not correctly labeled as British/American.

:: You're right about the IP being from MD; I meant to mention that. But it's largely hit-and-run IP's making the reverts. They don't get that they don't get to make a judgment on what is/isn't a co-production. Rebecca Eaton. WGBH, and PBS are part of the production, decision-making, funding, you name it. That makes it British/American, as the sources support. --] (]) 15:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

The time has come

Kind words from nice people
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

It is time for me to step back from editing. It has been an extraordinary 16+ years. My thanks to everyone who has helped, shown kindness and shared so much during my time here. To you (as well as to those who will be happy to see me leave) I wish you well as you continue on with the Misplaced Pages experiment. I will probably pop back in from time to time but any posts made here will not get answered in a timely fashion. I also know that things may change down the road. Cheers to one and all and happy editing whenever possible :-) MarnetteD|Talk 21:17, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

In the immortal words of DA "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" mmmm fish :-P MarnetteD|Talk 21:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Starkiryu64, Floq, Bishonen, Martinevans123, Doug Weller, Doniago, DanCherek, David J Johnson, El_C and Johnuniq for your kind messages. It has been a privilege editing alongside each of you over the years. I'm finally getting a chance to see my stack of films released by the Criterion Collection and Kino Lorber :-) I am a sucker for their half price sales so my library had gotten kinda large. Best wishes to each of you! MarnetteD|Talk 23:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
You too, MarnetteD. You are the reason why my days are a little bit better. Have a jolly good retirment. Starkiryu64 (talk) 00:47, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks Ponyo. I'm glad to have helped :-) Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 23:46, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
  • 16+ years of getting paid nothing but beans is quite impressive, not many will stay for that long :) May your retirement be stress-free and full of relaxation. Thank you for all you've done here. I've learned a lot from you. Sro23 (talk) 00:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Beans? You've been getting beans Sro23 :-) Were they coffee or pinto - heehee. Thanks for the compliment and for all you work here as well. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 21:52, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Oh, no! You have been one of my role models, MarnetteD. Sending you thank yous for everything I learned from your wisdom. Enjoy your retirement, may it be filled with beauty! Netherzone (talk) 02:29, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Netherzone. I had several nice editors who taught me how things worked in my time here so I am glad to have passed some of them on to you. I really appreciate your kind message. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 17:35, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Round 2

  • Can I just say what I said last time? "Vaya con Dios, MarnetteD, I'm really sad you're leaving, but glad you're doing what you want to do. Here's to things changing down the road." --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:18, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Goodbye

I'm sorry to see you go, but I understand your reasons. Thank you for all your kindness! It was great knowing you and I wish you the best! --A.S. Brown (talk) 00:20, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words A.S. Brown. Seems I can't quite get away completely just yet but I am headed in that direction. I wisah you all the very best in return on wiki and even more so in real life. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 03:49, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

I've just seen this. I am sad to see you leave. Thank you for our wikiship, for a lack of a better word, and I wish you the best of luck with your life (: Callmemirela 🍁 15:35, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Thank you so much Callmemirela. For the moment I still pop in once or twice a week and am delighted to see your message. Wikiship is a great word for the kind and good people like yourself that I've met over the years. Whether on wiki or in my dreams I am so fortunate to have shared time with you. Best wishes to you on wikiP and, even more so, in real life!! MarnetteD|Talk 17:42, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
You have a "retired" notice on this page, yet still continue to make edits. Does it mean you changed your mind and just forgot to take that down? If not and you plan on leaving, then farewell and I'll definitely miss you. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your note SNUGGUMS. Turns out I do drop in every couple days so I've updated my message. It is going to come to an end at some point though. Best regards!! MarnetteD|Talk 04:24, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
My pleasure, and I'm sure you'll make the most of your time here while it lasts. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

  • Thank you for at least keeping it blue ;) - best wishes for what you'll do elsewhere, - what you did here was precious! I'll miss conversations like that, full of music. They made me name you an honourable member of QAI, in the company of RexxS, Yoninah and others we now have to miss. - You archived my flowers of resilience with the daily stories, but please keep reading! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:58, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
