Ok Ok, now you both just sound like a couple of school children bickering
over who's right and who's wrong. Guess what? It doesn't matter. If you were
debating the issue in a mature and calm fashion, fine, but you're not. You
both have resorted to name calling and pulling punches. It's amusing, but
silly all at the same time. Move on boys, find something new to bicker
about, this is getting boring.

Well, you can use a slow shutter speed or a fast one. After you've
done a lot of one, it's time to do the other. Not a lot of choices
there.

You clearly lack imagination.

Maybe that's also why you vote Republican.

You're right. It would take a lot of imagination, creative thought, and
perhaps hallucinagens such that voting Democrat would make sense.

Hi -

It really, really, really reminds me of why I decided *not* to pursue
a career in academics and went out into the real world. My reaction
now when someones crows about their PhD is one of deep relief that I
didn't waste all those years of my life...

John, a mere MA...

I've seen things you newbies wouldn't believe. Attack-morons aflame off
the shoulder of rec.arts.sf.written. I watched Cancel posts glitter in the
ether near the waikato.ac.nz gateway. All those moments will be lost in
time - like beers in the rain. Time to unsubscribe...

I used to work in the research department of a large corporation well
known for the quality of its research. They used to get about 3 U.S.
Patents per day. There were lots of PhDs there. So many, in fact, that
no one paid attention to degrees. It was assumed that if you worked
there, you were qualified.

Consequently, one day when the telephone rang and someone asked for Dr.
Conner, I said this was not the medical department. The caller explained
he did not want an M.D. Then I realized who he wanted, turned to a
collegue and said, "It's for you, Dennis." Dennis had a Ph.D., but not
an M.D. At that place the only people called DOCTOR were in the medical
department.
