If you are insulting my spelling you really are a bottom feeder. I'm just
a humble guy, never got to go to college, been working railroad most of my
life. No one I really know is concerned with my spelling.


Learn to laugh at your mistakes....you ask the same of others here so do the
same.

Spelling is no big deal here for most of us.....but if you call someone a
dummy and spell it "dumy" then you are open to criticism (not that you did
that).

Working on the railroad is an honorable job. I have a good friend and a
cousin working with 2 different RR lines and they are not only intelligent
but thoughtful and loving fathers.

My dad never finished 10th grade as he had to work prior to the war (WWII)
to help support his family and then went to war to defend our Country. Yet
he was one of the most intelligent person (he knew advanced math and
engineering - all self taught) I ever knew (and have known to this date).

College teaches you 4 things:

1. Learning how to think.

2. Learning how to make the most out of your time.

3. Learning technical skills.

4. Learning how to fend for yourself and be able to interact with folks
from all social strata's.

Perhaps #4 should be #1.

Some folks can learn those skills without having to go to college and can
pick up on the technical data by reading books or working in the field. I
applaud those folks. Some of the smartest people I have met never went to
college, yet some of the dumbest people I have met have multiple college
degrees. Go figure.

Never, ever think any less of yourself for not having gone to college. The
school of hard knocks is often the toughest school to complete.

Back to this NG......you need to lay back and see more of the comings and
goings of this NG before you start to form opinions of folks here. I can
offer you some personal horror stories of one member here you seem to want
to defend, including stories of stalking and threats.

Partake and enjoy. We hope you stick around for a long time. You seem like
a nice guy.

How about it?
