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???
