Unaccustomed as I am to addressing a large group, I'll keep my remarks
brief. Speaking strictly for myself, no, I am not a high
school "dropout". [It's one word, Gregg! :) You must check your grammar
for any post implying others are stupid! The spell
checker won't help you here. -5 points]
Sorry you interpreted my comments exactly the opposite of what I meant! I
guess you couldn't see my tongue in cheek. What emoticon would that
be? What I was so so poorly trying to imply was that this list seems to
have someone (usually more than one) knowledgeable about any topic that
comes up. Knowledge doesn't necessarily mean education, and education
doesn't necessarily mean knowledge, but to explain all that was more than I
really wanted to type. Should have just pushed the delete button.
I was also poking fun at those of us who have completed advanced degrees,
the higher the degree, the less air to breathe. By the way, usually I have
excellent grammar, but insert random keystrokes regularly. For me, it is
much easier to speak correctly than type,. I also am one who seems to have
brain farts when it comes to spelling of even common words. I wish paper
had a spell check button!
A joke: A boy answers the phone, "Hello".
Voice on the other end, "is your mother home?"
Boy, "she ain't here".
Voice, "son, where's your grammar?"
Boy, "she ain't here neither".

On the other hand, I have not finished my BS degree (insert your own joke)
so yes, I am breathing thin air, figuratively speaking.
Anyone who'd sell his last OM body (as I have) is not thinking clearly, right?
All the best,
Lama
