No, it's not so bad, but that's not the point. It's all about.. umm.... well...... (gotta whisper it)..... intellectual snobbery. I just object to the notion that the legitimacy of an idea is in any way dependent on the credentials of the person who thought of it. An idea is an independent thing that should be weighed and measured and ultimately adopted or discarded entirely on its own merits and independent of its origins. I didn't take it personally, so don't sweat that. But thanks for the consideration anyway. Of course if you weren't considerate then you wouldn't be you. You'd be neocom. -BLT
