but Jay, I suspect some will point out that not all college
educations lead to enlightenment.


Agreed.

But that's why I'm a (rare) proponent of a liberal arts education. The
broader (some might say "more useless" :-) education of a liberal arts
degree goes a long way toward teaching one to think, study, and learn.

And that, in the end, is all you can really hope to achieve in college.


Jay, I hate to tell you this but it's the Liberal Art's colleges and
programs that are at the foundation of our wretched education systems.

Are they the ones who taught you improper use of apostrophes?


Hee hee!

I mean, ahem, that was a cheap shot.

(Sorry, Tom. If it make you feel any better, I screw up apostrophes all the
time, too.)

I really don't think Usenet postings on a Saturday morning are that crucial.

Phil, on the other hand, needs his ego boost any way he can get it.

Punctuation is very important. There's a big difference between an animal that eats
shoots and leaves and one that eats, shoots, and leaves.

shoots and leaves and one that eats, shoots, and leaves.

So that's what I was doing wrong -- leave, eat, shoot!! DAMN!!
