Great and meaningful response!  I am truly impressed.

And who died and left you the authority on everything?  All I'm trying
to do is express my opinion on a topic I have very strong feelings on. 
And if I can get someone like you to explain to me your rationale for
your feelings, I am that much more educated.  I must admit, I haven't
got a clue as to why you feel the way you do. And frankly, I'm tired of
trying to make sense of what you say - because you don't say anything. 
All you do is refute in an oblique way without offering any explanation
in return.

In your opinion.  Nice easy out for you to say so.

Your fox hole is coming.  Although you strike me as one tormented soul. 
Perhaps you're there and you don't know it.  What's your quality of life
like?  How many close friends do you have?  What contributions to
anything have you made lately?  How much time have you spent trying to
figure out what your purpose is?

Don't recall saying how many times.  It's been lots.  But some of us
learn from our mistakes.  He who never made a mistake, never did
anything.

EQ - let me think.  Doesn't that stand for emotional quotient?  And
isn't that the latest way to measure intelligence.  I noticed you post
to the mensa news group.  So that's what's going on here.  Gee, God does
have a sense of humor.  So you've got all that intelligence and no way
of figuring out what to do with it other than waisting your time banging
away on a keyboard entering the drivel I've seen this past week.  Why
don't you count the number of times in a day you refer to your or
someone else's intelligence?  You've got too much time on your hands. 
Get out of the house and do something worthwhile with your life.

You haven't gotten past taking to impress.  Try communicating.

Gee, I don't recall saying I communicate for anyone other than myself. 
But at least I do that much.

Now really, was I supposed to understand what you typed?  I wonder if
anyone else did.  Why don't you ask?

I'll say it again.  I communicate for myself and no one else.  I was
hoping to connect with someone who was capable of responding with
something other than drivel.  I have always learned by talking to people
with other ideas.  I must say I learned nothing from you.

I knew it!!!  I knew you couldn't hold an intelligent conversation (not
that I would characterize what you have contributed as intelligent)
without resorting to expletives. 

Try looking at what's left in this posting.  I did not know that usenet
forced the poster to add more new material than is being saved.  What
started out as a sincere expression of thoughts has degraded to a boring
word chess game. Chewing gum for the mind. 

So you call yourself the word warrior.  Excellent choice of names. 
That's all you have is words.  And you like to try to impress people
with words.  Tell you what.  This has been an interesting experiment for
me, using usenet, but if you represent the typical participant, I think
I'll pass.  Good luck to you.  You need it.  Consider this exchange
over.  I have much better things to do with my time.
