It has to be submitted before the degree is awarded. it is available to the
public, a copy is in the university library.

Here the degree alone is not sufficient for teaching. One needs an extra "mark"
for that. I do mot know hpow things are now, but then one had to of follow a
weekly lecture on issues specific to teaching for two years. Just attending was
enough, there is was test. I attended but deliberately did not sign for my
presence for that last three lectures. I know I that if I became a teacher it
would end in disaster, so I made sure no one could ever force me into that
direction.

I wonder why you marked that part. Are you trying to pull a "Sanders" on me?

I can't help that. As I have stated before, I am not in the believing business.
If you feel the need to believe I suggest you consult someone who makes
believing his profession. A priest or an immam or whatever is your favorite
choice.

Anyway, I once more conclude that you do not have proof. If you had proof,
there would be no need to believe would there?

Cheers, Michiel
