"Let's cut through all the doublespeak that people like Gnomon put up while trying to pat himself on the back and make new allies while trying to show us that he is educated and successful ...........when indeed there are probably quite a few of us on this board that could buy him out lock stock and barrel several times over and still have a few million left over, not that this has any bearing on the topic......his huge ego needs feeding I guess......."

Why is it that trash-talking is so common on this board? I would not be one whit surprised if a dozen of you could buy me out and have jillions left over but you're right - it has no bearing on the topic so why bring it up. It doesn't even address ego - it speaks to bad upbringing on the part of the individual(s) doing the trash-talk.
