Like my statistics debate with VI on Sar's site, the thrill comes from dueling with my betters. I'll go tell Arnie what for now, whoever he may be.<BR/><BR/>So it's a good thing, Dr. Strator?<BR/><BR/>Absolutely, Brian. You're a good man.<BR/><BR/>Kyahgirl, you are correct. Dr. Strator is the stand in for real University administrators. Kyahgirl, I find that in administrators regardless of gender, but that maybe because in my field the women are the men as opposed to your field where the boys are.<BR/><BR/>Logo, I said that right up until the day I closed on my tract house. Actually, I still do but I found an inner flexibility in my lack of options.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like Oakland, Whinger.<BR/><BR/>VI, you just didn't get new shiny ones, and it serves you right for solving your own puzzle.
