Hi Karl,

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Re: George Bernard Shaw's quote, "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach":

the first part may be true for you and non-academics in general. (Seems to me you are a well-endowed or self-taught sort of guy, eh?) It seems that Prof. Grimm's "Is there a lesson?" is somehow offensive to you. Maybe for some reason or other, you dislike academics. Don't forget that that quote you used was meant to be a poking-fun-at-somebody sort of thing and not to be taken as a Gospel truth. Also, don't forget almost the rest of us had to attend school(s) and graduate before we could do your own thing! And needless to say, many of us are charitable and grateful to those who had taught us a thing or two.

Bre-X is beginning to look promising, and I wish one and all the best of luck!

P.S. Pl. correct me if I'm mistaken about GBS being the author of the above quote.
