You actually make me smile, so for that I give you credit. I apologize for my education and ability to personify class. I certainly meant no disrespect. I will, however, correct you about the age. I would give my left testicle to be that young again. Youth, it seems, is wasted on the young. I have continually dealt with irrational arguments for far too many years to be drawn into yours; however, you are due an apology for my error(s). I did key the year in wrong, yet with no malice intended. There is nothing to hide, there is nothing hidden. It is not a conspiracy nor a secret plot to take over the universe. It was merely a fat finger that wasn't working as well as it should. Yet it's seized upon with post after post along with your exemplary control of the English language as you call me "dumber than..." I can only shake my head and wonder who has seen the movie Idiocracy.
So for the date, and all hyperbole aside, there is information in the spreadsheet that is specific to me and my lab and since I'm sent a .jpeg of the spreadsheet, I had to recreate it to associate the pictures of the data so that it was easier to understand and relate data to each compound. Basically, I had to dumb it down yet still people didn't understand. As with any task, if we make things too difficult to understand then people will not appreciate it or they will misinterpret, so we have to reduce to the lowest common denominator. For the life of me, I cannot understand why everything on this thread is automatically contrived in a handful of people's eyes. They are the most vociferous ones, calling from the top of the mountain "look at me" so that their egos are maintained perhaps? I have found in my travels that it is always the quiet ones that are the most dangerous. You can continue to bash on me, I'm ok with that. I am very confident in who I am and what I stand for, nothing you can say or suggest will change that. Nor am I trying to impress anyone, for I am way past that point. I certainly wish you no harm, I admire your passion and humor, I just hope that you take a look at yourself and see that the immediate return on trying to hurt others does not pay dividends in the long run. You never know who you're talking to
. Is it ok for me to go now sir? I have a life to get back to, and hammers to educate, it would seem.
