to all: the offending remark said by Voltaire was "Tube Steak" This was made in response to someone who asked him what he was preparing for breakfast for his date from the night before. This was, in my recollection, all said in lighthearted banter. I even got the impression, the V. was celebrating his good fortune in Q investing. So there you have it, "Tube Steak," I first heard this phrase when I was in high school, maybe junior hight school. Let us consider, Voltaire was preparing "the tenderest of Tube Steaks" as a breakfast for his sleep over guest, or so he posted, in jest. Why, in the name of Julie Andrews, the ensuing eruption of venom and hate has occured is beyond me. What this does remind me of, however, is similar nervous goings-on on the Dell thread in Feb. this year; at that time, Voltaire also left never to return. And DELL tanked, never to return to its pre-earnings annoucement highs. What occcurs to me to ask is, has Voltaire sold his holdings in Q and left his readers behind? all the best to all jhg

<<{That might be a crook apostrophe} I hope there aren't many more posts needing me to respond...<< Maurice Perchance you would respond to these queries.Do you have an apostrophe fetish? :)Or are you just enamored with the word? :)One last question,how do you feel about self appointed "thread police"?You know the type,the ones that believe they are in charge and therefore can exercise moral judgement of others speech. Cheers Ed

A few years ago I saw a study focusing on girls who did very well in math (no "s" at the end for retrograde Americans.) The study showed that almost all girls who excelled in math at higher levels(a tiny percentage) had a physiological difference with other girls. They had unusually high levels of testosterone. This calls into question your idea that earlier math study by girls would improve their results. Perhaps testicle transplants?
