    This is usenet. People on here will call anyone an idiot. Trying to
    disprove that you're an idiot will only get you called that again. You'd be
    well advised not to waste your efforts on such. Either ignore such comments
    or hurl a few bolts of your own. 🙂 It's a cultural thing, AFAIC.

    ROGER! I'm shocked, encouraging usenet contentiousness. Shocked, I tell
    you. And appalled. After all I've done to keep things on a nice even
    keel and respectful, here you go telling people to hurl bolts. I'm outraged.

    Did I mention shocked...? Or outraged? And appalled.

    Wait. It's appalled, shocked and outraged. Um, no. Shocked, outraged and
    appalled; in that order.

    No, seriously...

    Appalled, outraged and shocked.

    Cheers!

    For JC, and the others who note the Latin American Spanish meaning for
    Mensa, I will give you the wikipedia thought on this:
    "Mensa's name was once planned to be Mens, Latin for "mind," but this
    was potentially confusing. Mensa's name may also seem ironic in parts
    of Latin America, where menso (feminine: mensa) means "stupid".

    If you don't like it, do a GMAT, arrange the money, put in your two
    years, and we can talk about it then.

    haven't done any post-grad work. They couldn't... they wouldn't! I

    Or something."

    I'm proud I got it and when I

    Like I said, go right ahead.

    If you don't like it, I'm not sure I care now.

    Whoosh.
    It was never about my personal likes or dislikes.

    Just bringing it up accomplishes squat.

    Apparently it stirs the pot a little, as it got mentioned in five other
    posts, not including my response. It must have had at least a little
    effect.

    What part of "just bringing it up accomplishes squat" are you still
    not getting?

    The Magic Trick of Proclamation only works for Fonzie, the rest of us
    mere mortals have to actually show up in Teh Parking Lot.

    Name the lot ;-)

    I'll be there with my Business Ethics Award and the
    pen I got for serving on the University Judicial Board. HA HA HA!

    Impressive.

    I understand the concept of the Rubber hitting the Road. I'll get back to

    Since there is so much interest:
    http://www.mensa.org/index0.php?page=11

    The point -is- that there just isn't much interest.

    Here is where your rubber fails to meet the road (along with the
    previously mentioned gem in http://tinyurl.com/deo6p).

    Semi-good job of pretending not to understand the point to salve your
    ego.

    Again, you've brought up credentials -- both directly and indirectly
    -- and implied that these credentials give the missives (and
    occasional passive-aggressive insults) you post some sort of extra
    weight.

    They don't (i.e. "there just isn't much interest"😉. At best, bad
    form. At worst, you look like a lame attention seeker for even
    mentioning them.

    Quoted message said:

    There's such a general lack of interest that four people have commented
    on it, even as it was buried in a thread that had moved way far away
    from the topic and was buried deep in a bit of an idiotic flame war. If
    you don't care, if you insist on meeting in the parking lot, if it
    doesn't stir anything anywhere, why did you feel the need to respond
    TWICE? Maybe in your TALK, you don't care, but here, in "TEH PARKING
    LOT", it picqued something in you.

    Or maybe you're just damaged the way I'm damaged. You lack the ability
    to let someone else have the last word.

    "Please don't respond! If you do, you must be damaged like me."

    Lame.

    Quoted message said:

    That's my last word on the subject. I'm committing to that right here.

    Okie doke, though I somehow doubt it.

    Quoted message said:

    Match that committment Suze. I dare you.

    Like I could or should care one whit about matching your commitment.

    After all, it's your """commitment""" (translation: "please don't
    respond!"😉, not mine.
