Better to be thought of as a name dropper than to not acknowledge my teachers, take their ideas and use them as my own for fame and profit.

@mollydotcom When I've seen you mention names it hasn't come across to me as name-dropping, but as interesting background.

@timtfj That's what it is. But I'm learning you have to sometimes tell people that's what you're doing. Education is very tricky indeed.

@mollydotcom And in the end, famous people are just people who happen to be famous. Maybe because they did something, maybe not. Just ppl.
