If you keep posting these personal rants you're going to get flamed in no time. I do think you have something to add here, but here are some tips:

1. Don't post everything that comes into your head. Although you're not wasting paper like in the old days, you're wasting peoples time.

2. Don't sound so damn arrogant and self important. Most of the references to your name are firmly tongue in cheek and you come off like a liberal academic type when you respond the way you have.

3. You're not the center of the universe, contrary to what the world of academia may have told you. Get over it.

So, to summarize, write about pertinent things and be selective, other wise you'll get zotted.

If I get flamed - than, I suppose I got flamed. It wouldn't be the first time I got kicked out of a place I don't find worthy of my presence, nor they would find my presence of any benefit. I just rolled the dice and that's what came out. Thank you for the tips. This is a lot more valuable than your other mindless posts (yesterday), so I did accomplish something - I converted you to a thinker (after all that wasn't so easy - believe me, you were a tough customer). So let me get zipped, zummed, zotted or flamed I am happy to know I did contribute something. I do mean thanks for the constructive criticism (let's limit that to - so far today).
