I do wonderful with grey. In fact, since I'm color blind, I deal mostly in greys!
Here is what you said: "and you're an example of that success are you? It's not a matter of "inability to succeed" my friend. Were you a second-year computer science major with a 4.0 and a couple dozen art shows in your portfolio when you were 17?" Your first sentence clearly challenges whether I am a success or not. Then you go on to point out a couple of benchmarks that apparently define your idea of a "success". Am I just misreading your post? Why else would you ask whether I was a CS major with a 4.0 or an art aficionado at 17???
