Not quite. Adolescence comes from the Latin adolescere "to grow up:" ad,
"toward" + alescere, "to grow."

We might have some adolescent behavior going on here. There is no need for
it. Just as an interesting parenthetical remark. Adolescence comes from
the Latin "to be in pain" "dolor"

I am a somewhat academic guy. I have a Psy.D after my name, which I rarely
use. I spend more time in the IT business than in the clinical Psychology
world.

Brian,
I'm not sure what motivated your message below since I don't recall see
specific messages of the type that are of concern to you.
However, more to the point....I believe that everyone has something to
contribute from which we can all glean new knowledge, insights, or useful
tidbits. So.....put on a thicker skin and please do continue contributing to
the discussion.
As an aside, this kind of reminds me of some other lists where, in years
past and also more recently, others took umbrage at being pushed to
substantiate generalizations and unfounded assumptions. However, being
pushed in this manner can only lead to clarity of thinking and greater
accuracy. So...personally, I think you should keep pushing buttons.

|I have come to my attention that some of you appear to be threatened
|by me. Maybe, it's the fact that I'm from a world reknowned academic
|program. Maybe, it's because I challenge people to provide support
|for their opinions. Or, you may think I have nothing to offer you.
|In any case, that's you problem. If you are not one of the people
|that has some grudge, then I apolgize for your recieving this email.
|However, I feel the need to enlighten individuals of what I have to
|offer this group:
|
|1.) I have extensive experience with programming in multiple
|languages.
|
| Some may not consider this relevant to the group, they're wrong.
|
|
|2.) I'm a certified XML expert. IBM thinks I know what I'm taking
|about.
|
|3.) I've completed two full scale projects that support 100 percent
|integration of XML technology. One in Java, the other in C++.
|
|4.) I've worked with several of the available software packages for
|XML (IBM's XML4J, XML4C; Apache.org's Xerces; Microsoft's MSXML)
|
|5.) I currently hold two jobs where I work with XML technology.
|
|6.) My academic interests are focused on information storage and
|retrieval.
|
|7.) I'm the future, if you can't learn to work with me. Your in for
|trouble.
|
|
| Thank you for taking the time to read this message. As
|a notice, I
|will no longer be repling to those who insist on showing just how
|childish they can act. I have a lot to offer this group, if you
|can't see that: Your blind.
|
|
|Brian Curtis
|
|NOTE: Any more messages sent to my school account that I determine to
|be harassing in any manner will be reported as such and I will seek
|action as deemed necessary.
