Of course, since Donnie can't seem to successfully attack the message (not
even to his own satisfaction), he keeps trying to attack the messenger, as
in:

> If you do not like my proof then go get a BSCS degree and talk to me then.

Oooohhh!  So witty.  So clever.  In other words, what crap.  Well, two can
play at that game.

As usual, you have no clue as to what my background is or isn't, nor what
degrees, if any, I've acquired in my past (not that a lack of factual
information has ever stopped you from posting before, and it probably
won't stop you from posting in the future).  Just because I post from a
.EDU site these days, it doesn't tell you anything about my background or
qualifications.  In other words, *your words* in particular (again), "you
just do not know me well enough to make an assertion such as this."

You might want us to think you are elite and above us because you *imply*
that you have a BSCS.  Heck, you probably even believe it yourself (that
you are more intelligent than those of us who won't blindly follow you). 
I hate to shatter your fantasy (well, ok, I don't really hate to do it),
but your rhetoric isn't impressing anybody.  You may or may not have a
BSCS; the only thing we know for sure, is that you can sure talk a lot of
BS.

> I do not have time to go look up everything out of books just for you.

Another euphemism for "well, since I can't seem to find one, I'll just
pretend that I'm far, far too important to do such a menial task as
actually look a reference up.  After all, I'm much, much, much more
superior to and infinitely smarter than those boneheads on Usenet, and
they'll believe any crap I chuck out at them, since I am oh, so great. 
I'm a legend in my own mind.  Time to go look in the mirror and see what
kind of a studly guy I am..."  Well, no one is buying your bull.  Anyone
who has time read, let alone post to Usenet certainly has time to look up
one lousy reference.
