(in article ): If they do the same job with equivalent results, how could they help but be more efficient, given that they're a small team? Please, pull out of your terminal case of cranial-anal-loopback and get into the real world. "Efficient" doesn't simply mean "few people doing the work." Besides which, you're once again changing terms and conditions to fit your own goal of perpetuating argument: I didn't say "same work." I said "analogous work" for a good reason. You might want to contemplate that before you spout off with more nonsense. -- Herb Schaltegger, GPG Key ID: BBF6FC1C "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 http://www.individual-i.com/ |

I thought it was well established, based on public comments from both Burt and Allen. Ahah! Then you should have placed your comments within this context instead of assuming that your audience is instinctively aware of every nuance of every one-liner you utter. The price of brevty, for you, is unclear writing What evidence is there that Allen would have invested absent the prize? I dunno. I didn't make that assertion. -- Chuck Stewart "Anime-style catgirls: Threat? Menace? Or just studying algebra?" |

Ignoring the odious comparison with our life-on-Venus nutbag, Yet you still need to mention it, don't you? I was just pointing out that it looks a little silly to supposedly killfile someone and then continue to respond to them.
