Being post #115 in a thread is much like being a "nice guy": nobody gives a shit what you have to say because the entertainment is elsewhere. Nonethless:
@ 646hedgie - I agree with everything you say. Most people choose not to believe there's a difference between what is and what ought to be. You focus on what is, and I commend you for it; it's a great asset in your (and my) line of work. Out of curiosity, how old were you when you "reformed" as a nerd? I was 29; there was a moment - literally one, single "I can't believe what an idiot I've been all my life" moment - when I promised myself I would change. Better late than never.
