No, I love CC's. I recruit heavily from them.`My point, which as usual you
avoid, was that Marcus has little exposure to NDT. Certainly not enough to
dismiss my entire thesis so cavlierly.

And your point was well taken, Marcus does have little exposure to NDT.
However, that does NOT excuse the fact that you took an elitist attitude
over Marcus because he was at a community college (which in fact he was
not). There are numerous community colleges who DO have a lot of experience
with NDT and have even qualified to attend the tournament.

Thanks for attempting to divert the thread away from any attitudinal elitism
on the part of NDT.

Not my intent, nor, I would wager, the end result. I just believe that
deconstructionists who live in glass houses shouldn't throw elitist stones.

That's all.

How I wish I had. No, I was relegated to Cal State Bakersfield BEFORE it was
a university. I am but a poor serf...........
