This whole attitude makes me sick.  If you are going/went to college
that is fine with me but just because I wish to take a different route
to gain knowledge don't shove your pompous self-righteous attitude in
my face.

I'm glad that not everyone in the world has the same attitude as you,
some people are a willing to let the facts speak for themselves rather
then making judgements based on a worthless piece of paper.  I thank
those people and hope more will do the same.

Now for your (and my) edification I would like to close with a quote
from _The Little LISPer_ by Daniel Friedman and Matthias Felleisen:

	...In engineering, as in other creative arts, we must
	learn to do analysis to support our efforts in synthesis.
	One cannot build a beautiful and functional bridge without a
	knowledge of steel and dirt...  Similarly, one cannot build a
	beautiful computer system without a deep understanding of how
	to "previsualize" the process generated by the procedures one
	writes.
