"get over yourselves. you're elitists, [snip]"
-- a grumpy poster on this thread

Yeah, how dare you guys get a decent education, and post in rational, coherent, and grammatically proper sentences? You should be ashamed of yourselves!

And I should probably go shoot myself for daring to question the wisdom of someone who thinks that 0.999... does, AND does not, equal "1," and who believes that sometimes mathematics is subjective.

As atonement for my sins, I will have to contact my alma mater, and ask them to rescind my Mathematics degree. Clearly, I am too "elitist" to deserve it. Time to put on a hair shirt and flagellate myself. "Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa......"
