what we don't have collectively 1000+ years of reading here?
and hundreds of years of education, a half dozen Phd or so.. (so what that i was a HS drop out... i was smart enough, to seek out, and hang out with the like of you guys, all my life.. so now, i know a hell of lot more than just the usually crap!)

as for language, is not just my meager english, but we do have people who know german, latin greek, italian, some turkish, esperanto, spanish, portugues, russian, not to mention languages that broke off of IE long before most european languages.. and then there is chinese..
collectively we are brillant!-- and we are not bad on our own either!


my other obsession
