I didn't expect you to get it, and you | haven't. Quite right, I did not. One reason for that is that is so insane as to question not only your mental capacity, but your sanity. Since you did not expect me to get it, it at least suggests that you are aware how insane it was. I guess this is progress. | You may fool a couple of simpletons on USENET into listening to | you, but that's where it ends. This suggests that you know you are a fool and set out to prove otherwise by getting a degree. Thank you for confirming it. | I'm going partners in a biotech startup with people who knew me | well for _five_ years. They knew you well for that long? Man, that must be good! | BTW, that was the most shameless FUD I've ever seen. So it worked on you.
