ahh... that was it. unfortunately i only have the most recent HolQeD
issue; haven't had the means to pick up back-issues as yet.

local community college. it was a not-for-credit class, taught by Steve
Burnett (a KLI member) who adapted Dave Barron's postal course for the
classroom (with permission). i think the head of linguistics here at
UNC-CH is going to give me a couple hours of transfer credit for it...
cool, huh? *grin*
unfortunately, the class has been offered two or three times but only got
enough people to meet once...

can't remember what it was, though. maybe that mistake in my notes about
