I knew I'd get flamed for this one but I thought it would make more sense.

I guess you are either being sarcastic, or you you really haven't heard of
this before. The first doesn't make sense because you appear to have a strange
sense of sarcasm that doesn't have much in common with mine. If you really
haven't heard of this sort of thing before, I must say, you've suprised me.

I thought I had made a point, not a very elaborate one I must say but...
Personally I kind of prefer a bit of a mixture between personal rhetoric and
argument, I find it works better in my context.

I presume your reference to "sophomoric" is an attempt to denigrate what you
percieve to be my junior status. We don't have sophomore's here. Kindly
elaborate.

Condescending....never....
