Dear Steve,
	I am confused.  Perhaps you can help me out here.  Are you
suggesting that academic writing, whether by expereinced scholars or
neophyte students, be essentially citation free?  What sort of writing
would this be?  What research is best left undocumented?  What could
academics write other than personal essays?  I'm having trouble
visualizing this new genre of academic discourse.  Can you suggest a model
that would flesh this out a bit?
					Warm regards,
