    Yes! Let's stop 'just simply' writing others ideas off with the whim of a hat!

    Ant,

    I can understand that now you have a PhD in your name under the MOQ you are
    filled with a certain amount of 'academic confidence' but I find the exclusivity
    with which you hold your views quite a shock and a little offputting. I thought
    I would just bring them to your attention here in case you were still in an
    understandable state of euphoria over recieving such a distinction from society
    and felt you ruled the world or something.

    -David.
