<< Now, that's just being insulting to Shawn, are we all that immature? >>
No Brad, it's not insulting. Long before you started your participation (dare I say monologue) on the list, we had a long standing policy after significant debate. People agreed to be courteous to those hunting for bargains on ebay and not announce 'THERE'S A BARGAIN ABOUT TO CLOSE AT URL...' The deal is, folks from the pdml have and do bid up the price on ebay items when they are posted at the last minute. It destroys any chance of getting a bargain on ebay. << Earning a PhD is very tough and demanding and you have to be quite bright. >> I've enough education that I'm not impressed by a PhD. I don't know why you would sign your name with So-and-So, PhD. unless you were looking for work or self impressed with your achievements. We don't have ranks in the pdml (except for Doug Brewer who is the General! <g>) << You don't like it? Too bad, it's the nature of the beast. >> I don't think that's the spirit of this list.
