Now, Carl specializes in spotting stupid people. Sometimes he calls
them stupid once; in a fit of righteous fury, he called one fella
stupid THREE TIMES in two sentences.
I don't think Roosen is stupid. I think he's nuts. Of course, I'm
nuts, too, because I like reading his stuff, and then arguing with him.
He's got crazy ideas, but he thinks hard, and he comes back even after
a hard flame. Cool.
Just so Carl won't call ME stupid, I'll write an equation:
r
p - = n
a
where p is the post, r is the number of responses, a is the number of
authors, and n is the number of nuts involved.
Somebody check my math.
