What a jackass.

Could it hurt you to be a little polite when responding? If you only wish
to discuss issues with people that are in your intellectual stratosphere,
then kindly refrain from responding to the 'dullards' on the list, and
then you may resume talking to yourself in the mirror. 

I hate to get thrown back into this, but this kind of intolerant pedagogy
is disgusting for a student and learner.

Shalom.
