I am well aware of my personal limitations and the fact that the aging process is eroding my intellectual qualities. However, the real puzzle to me is why anyone so talented and brilliant finds it necessary to bully and belittle another who at least appears to be a bit less blessed with those talents. Another way of saying it: There are few creatures dumber than a chicken. Chickens all have the instinct to bully a weaker chicken. I enjoy and appreciate the help that I find on this list. Its benefits are worth defending. To those who find my questions and comments a waste of bandwidth or worse, I apologize. A special thanks to the moderators who preserve the environment!
