I think that the panel was what was necessary in a Class Basics panel, and maybe I need to conclude that I'm not in the target audience for that panel; I hadn't been inclined to think that way before the panel, but maybe it's true.

I was, actually, (pleasantly!) surprised to see you in the audience for the Class Basics panel, because from reading your journal over the past year it seems to me that your thinking on class is well beyond the basics level.
