Wow I am impressed, I wish my students would be like you. I always have a red ink pen with me. Every time I do not know a word I write it down in red ink. I will not read any further until I know the definition of the word.

A lot of pollsters only care about the money, and will prostitute themselves for the money. Since doing a poll the correct way is expensive and hard,they cheat. There is a lot of money in polling. Gallup is a rich man.

For me polling is boring and labor intensive. I am not a biologist and Bio-stats is so interesting. I often have to spend more time understanding the biology to figure what mathematics will solve their problem. Also in biometry the mathematics can get really nasty, which makes it so much more fun. Also Accelerated testing and bio-mathematics are some what virgin fields which means there are a lot of good problems to be solved.

Keep stretching your brain, it will irritate the people who don't like you.

NO DOUBT.

I bet that you are an outstanding instructor. You are most lucid and a pleasure to read.

What else is new?
The SMART and wise folks who don't like me just stop baiting me. One gentleman said that we should probably stop communicating as we were not ever going to "meet minds."

But, really, WHY on earth would anyone with a brain and/or a life bother to dislike me? We are all strangers on this most impersonal web site who are simply passing the hours reading and typing about a giant potpourri of subjects and information. It's TOTALLY harmless.
