Hmmm, I never got around to answering you about that.
Your comments got entrained by a lengthier discussion of bad attitude
and employability, which I thought showed active disregard for
considerable respectable things that deserve more consideration.
Mike, I am sorry for the upset. You were setting the bar pretty high,
where it belongs, not tearing people down. That was an excellent
gesture, not anti-intellectual as I feared.
If you want my explanation and apology, I have done that for you. If
you'd rather see a virtuoso performance by prodigious backpeddler, I
could probably do that too, but this sems like it has better signs and
arrows, and a finish line!
