So, as I suggested before, your position is along the lines of a "research
assistant."


I think you addressed that question to another..

but very approximately so, yes. Why so rude about it?


Why do you take the statement as "rude"?

Adressed to "mr.b"

"So fess up, Bubbie -- you were just a research assistant on that
paper, weren't you? You surely didn't have anything to do with writing
it, based upon your contributions to this thread. "

Did you mean me?

I'm simply trying to clarify your
professional credentials, since you chose to offer them. Unfortunately, you
chose to offer them in a way that would lead one to believe that you are
*more* than a research assistant. If you think that is also a rude
statement,


I'm not even a research assistant, and work for no scientific or
political institution(s) at all.


I am not surprised, you probably could not change a lightbulb with a
manual in front of youl..
