Wait, what? A professor of
computer science is collecting information from a website
by hand?
You've obviously never seen a real professor of computer science. Have you seen anyone use emacs to send an email?

You know. You may be right. My degree was physics with computing but I think what little contact I had with the computing department through that was mostly the left-overs (fortunately, not a handicap). I have seen what physics professors get up to though and I assume it's different but similar.
