Jim,
I've enjoyed and learned from your postings in this newsgroup over the
years, but I have to say that I'm very disappointed with you for throwing
out an unsupported -- and apparently unresearched -- blanket statement
like this one.
Back in the Dark Ages(*) I attended and managed to eventually graduate
from that tiny but august institution(**):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_College_of_Florida
While it's true that in those days we had some strange students at New
College (and a few _very_ strange ones), I'm not convinced that they were
any stranger than those attending similar institutions; moer to thr
point, I don't recall any of them being boring. Annoying at times, yes;
boring, no.
It's true that, on occasion, one or two had a bit more imagination than I
appreciated, and in directions that I wasn't always comfortable with, but
the same might have been said about me at the time.
Please retract your claim and assign yourself 20 hours of Hyper-
Sensitivity Awareness Training. There's a lot of hyper-sensitivity going
around these days, and you clearly need to be more aware of it. grin!
