Okay. I have been invited to join Mensa more than once, I always decline. If you ever meet a Mensa member, the first thing you’ll learn is that he or she is a Mensa member. So I actually try to avoid being a ‘crackpot braggart’. I simply said something that I thought was in context to this thread.
Just to be sure, my comment was odds related, not intended to be personalized. The crackpot bucket thing was sarcasm, sort of.
I raised a son with an IQ of more than 20 points higher than my own and know that being smart is not always an easy path. Good luck.
