like any other population, we have our parrots, non-thinkers, OCD, Bi-polar, stupid or the otherwise normal. we also have more than a few extremely intelligent people.
one thing I have noticed (because I also suffer from it) is that more intelligent you are, the worse your interpersonal skills tend to be. mow, I happen to be fairly intelligent (somewhere north of the upper 130's) , but I am not so far above the normals that I can't understand them. I have known people so intelligent that they have virtually no understanding of how their fellow human beings work (and I can understand that position as well). the point I am hoping to make is that we all have our quirks, behavioral problems and skills (and that is fine by me). all that is needed is a little understanding and a very thick skin. -eric On Dec 1, 2011, at 12:28 AM, John Tate wrote: > I think I've found a bug in the OpenBSD crowd.
