I couldn't watch the whole thing. But I have somewhat of a moral issue with teasing and treating meanly almost *any* group. I mean, what's the implication here? That everyone should know math? That everyone should be "smart" as defined by some subjective measure? And if not, face derision? On what objective basis do you determine that this group is deserving of shame? Should we make fun of you because you don't know some particular facet of an area they deem important? Why not, instead, try to understand where any given group comes from, how they got there, and try to simply get along? I think it's complete rubbish, and it should be kept from the list. -- Noon Silk Fancy a quantum lunch? http://groups.google.com/group/quantum-lunch?hl=en "Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being this signature." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
