I have _fun_ with such things. Other people may do it for gain and to manipulate. I have never had any need to do either, and I find it much more insulting that you suddenly impute such things to me than all the other nonsense that _follows_ from such a personal need. I do in fact have pretty high expectations for how smart people should be and what I expect them to figure out. It is _one_ of the reason I get so pissed at all the morons who populate the world. If nobody would have figured out the anagram, I would have been _disappointed_. If somebody thought it was _fun_, I would have achieved what I had wanted. > With that said I only know Erik from what I have read in c.l.l and his > web site. I fail to see how you could find evidence of the "evil-geniusitis" here, and I would be disappointed if you _did_ find evidence of it. ///
