    Lighten up Francis. It was a joke. However, if you talk to business people I think you'll find that they think it's true.

          Don't be too quick to claim credit -- before there were programmers, it used to be a joke about engineers.

                      you're worried a duplicate joke posting will cause the CP servers to fill up or something? :)

                            If they switch to using a separate server for jokes, that would probably be a good thing.

                                    It's true. We all like to point and laugh at you. It does us good to see how the lower orders live. Think of yourself as a charity case, and us as the viewers watching news reports on the TV.

                                    I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.
