Sophoclees, where in the world did you come up with the idea that I thought that the initial posting was "a self congratulatory little paen to the "I'm all right Jack and fuck the rest of you" school(?) of thought."
If I don't happen to agree with something, it is no indicator that I didn't understand it when I read it. No matter HOW self-evident it appears to you because it happens to support your own personal bias, others are allowed to differ with it in part or wholly.
While I freely admit that there have been times when I have mis-understood postings, this is NOT one of those times.
