Clinton,

While this may in fact be a "stupid thread", your explanations, justifications and succinctly worded "philosophical offerings" catapult you to the rank of top contender for the dubious award of "Mudcat Asshole of the Week" (if there was such a category.)

A word of advice.

It is better to be thought of an asshole,
than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Thanks for removing that doubt.
