Are you one of those professors who lecture to 300 students and don't give a damn about helping them with homework?
Detoit downtown - would not be my preferred location for a fun lunch.

Gera, was this your idea of insulting me?

It makes me sad to see that people in my Department (including myself) trying to bust our asses off to teach the students properly -- introducing computer-based teaching methods, having open-door policy instead of the office hours (so that students can always stop by and discuss their problems with the professor and not a teaching assistant), etc. -- only to get such a reaction from people.

You are welcome to check my University website to see my credentials (as well as my teaching and research awards). However, I don't think now that I would like to have a lunch with you, though.
