The few who realize I am a superior intellect and defend my right to be as stupid as they get my begrudging admiration. But I feel many of you miss a great opportunity to network to mutual commercial benefit. E. CHARTERS You are a superior intellect! I defend your right to be as stupid as anyone! I certainly hope, however, that you do not think your intellect is superior to mine! No. No. No!! I give my brain super oxygenation every night using a series of special tubes that I invented myself. It allows my left and right hemispheres to cooperate in a more synergistic manner. When I wake up I don't even care about the price of gold! Also, I do long headstands (both sirshasan and Oordhwapadmasan) which are good for the sinuses and the feet. Good to see you back!

Some of us do most of our work without having to network publicly; and at times make use of private messages, but not necessarily here. You are superior to none. Not even my dog, you anal retentive runt. Your idea of peasantry failed to included yourself. You have a brain - whoopee, as in cushion.. An intellect - yes.. but the combination of the two fails you miserably as a person whose offensiveness exceeds all limits in its snobbishness. This is the Flame Thread, moron. Not your private pulpit. Not for commercial benefit... except to SI, and skunk hunters detecting your trail. Get bent.

EC--I am not sure your post is intended for me. I assume from this that it is: <<I realize you are smarter than that so feel free to show off. Pollysyllabics await your sylvan fingers.>> I really don't have much of an ego about my intellect one way or another. No measure I know of is in existence that can compare my intelligence overall to anyone else. Human beings like it or not need an emotional maturity in addition to intellectual capability otherwise their intelligence simply leads to their getting in creative disasters or causing misery to others. Emotional maturity is even harder to measure. My experience is that people who seem bright and mature emotionally are not neccessarily rare but not terribly common either. I tend to give myself the benefit of the doubt too much to be much good at rating my own capabilities. I choose to avoid actual flaming. I don't care to insult strangers and truly don't care to insult someone I know. The flaming I do here is generally done without any serious malice attached and in a attempt at humor. The success of my attempts at humor are for the readers as different people will have different reactions and because I have a hard time evaluatating my posts here. I may be to close to the creation of the posts or just lack a feel for my own works in that direction. I just post and hope for the best. As far as networking I have no objections to making money that is why I came to SI in the first place. This isn't the thread to do it though. Generally I operate with friends by PM's, E-mail, and phone calls. Druss
