If you have to ask, what do you think. All have whatever reasons for whatever they do. Some are smart reasons and some are smart and honest. Whenever a reason is stated, logic can provide anyone with others or opposites that are unstated.

How smart is a person who does not have the experience to know the simple truth of what is stated above.

Rambi, re: "The intelligence of a poster is far more accurately assessed based on his ability to reason and write coherently, not on whether he is smart (or stupid) enough to use his real name."

Sure, it's easy for all you "read and write coherently" elitists to use that standard but the rest of us have to find some other metric that shines a better light on us.

Watson uses the "real name" metric to judge intelligence and, since I'm from a long line of cnyndwllr's, beginning with my grandfather 8 times removed, drk cnyndwllr, I agree.

So you can take your smug "coherent" metric and limp off to wherever it is that your "ilk" limps off to when confronted with .....(oops, lost my train of thought here but you get my point.). Ed
