Now the question is, for me, why do people have such a need for expectations on a place like SI? It's one of those times when being a pessimist is better than being an optimist. If you expect the worst of everybody, sooner or later almost everybody will meet your expectations. If you expect the best, you'll be lucky to find one or two people meeting your expectations. So I just expect everybody to be a schmuck and appreciate the few who aren't all the more! Just kidding. Or am I? <g>
