Julius the Great

From: ted.held at us.henkel.com on 2006.03.09 at 20:40:10(13930) I, for one, have been outed as a freeloading lurker. The IAS will receive my check in the next few days. Think of it this way: it's worth 25 bucks US to be able to read the contributions from Julius on this list. The others are nice, too. But Julius is just plain entertaining and a polymath of rare dimension._______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com +More http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

I agree completely: "polymath" and "entertainer" are rare qualities and even rarer to be seen together... but I am sure it is the case here. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More Dr. Eduardo G.

From: ted.held at us.henkel.com on 2006.03.16 at 22:05:09(13954) My dictionary gives the definition as "one (a person) of encyclopedic learning". It means a person who has profound knowledge about a very wide range of subjects. Like Julius. I apologize to non-native English speakers as it is a rather uncommon word. It seemed to fit what I wanted to say.
