    - Even so, I love that top tier universities are offering free online classes now. - David, neutral May 30, 13:22 1
      - I'm certainly not against the idea. I think it's an add-on rather than a replacement, though. - Reagen May 30, 13:25
    - We have. I remain optimistic. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 30, 13:17
