I don't think that would necessarily be not smart.. but I don't think it would serve any useful purpose.

I thank many here are hitting on something though. This will be the first contract that will be negotiated with as much internet communication available as there currently is. It might be that a more instantaneous form of communication i.e. a chat room type thing (or is that an old concept?) to discuss the pro and con of the TA would be preferable to a paper that is but one man's opinion. Interesting nonetheless...
