Oh  MY   !   

What drivel...

{ignition on}

This may well be the STUPIDEST thing I've read in this group to date.
This elitist seems to think that a "college" education is a 
prerequisite for meaningful existence.

And that Intelligence and and education are only acquired by college 
graduates.

A.	I find this personally insulting, as I am not a college graduate, 
however I am successfully operating a business that is based strictly on 
"high tech" applications of high speed digital microwave to corporate 
communications needs.  I studied nights and weekends for many years to 
obtain the knowledge required, and college never was possible. I had a 
family to feed, and bills to pay. The only way I was to get an 
"education" was to do it myself. ( if money matters here I'd be pleased
 to compare paychecks with this "educated" person)

B.	I actually know a "Joe in the Slammer", and have a deep respect 
for this man's knowledge, and savvy of not only digital communications, 
but RF engineering, 4 or 5 different programming languages, unix, and a 
smattering of other subjects thrown in. (also not a college graduate)

C.	When speaking of the "value of the traffic" , is the class based, 
elitist, snob approach that is proposed "valuable" ?


Go back to your college "Biff", have another beer with your frat brothers, 
and leave this group to the folks who work at this everyday, and respect 
other people for their brains instead of their social position.

{ignition off}

Yes, I'll get it in droves for this, So go ahead......
