I think everyone should always think that they can improve, otherwise you remain stagnet.

Good Attitude.

Good Luck.

This is the version with Ron Jeremy instead of Jack Webb.

Here I was, giving you props for being so eloquent, and on your very next post you come up with a Ron Jeremy reference.

I expect that from The Crustaceous One. ('Ol Crusty?)

I have been quietly moving up the college levels for the last few years and as Chuck said there are considerations such as time commitments that are important. However for me, the adrenaline that comes from the higher level of play makes up for the disadvantages. This season is my first at the CIS level which is the highest level for Canadian universities and so far it has been a great experience as we started this weekend with a pre-season tournament.

It was just a matter of time to come up with a wise remark. Of course we all don't walk around with the Webster in our back pocket. you do know that stunts your growth..

Of course not. Of course, some of us have an education and know how to spell "stagnant" without running to the dictionary. :shrug:

I don't know Chuck. I think "carrying around a dictionary in your back pocket" is a pretty good excuse for being stunted. I've never heard a better one?

My success is not based on spelling. I have enough education for me to be a very successful executive in an engineering firm. Engineers are not known for how to write or spell. We engineer. I probably stooped to your childish level by even giving you as much information as I have..

P.S. Education by no means make you any better than me. or anyone else. What has your big education gotten you?

Peace to you Good Sir.....

Lighten up VA. He was joshing you, and you got all prickly. He doesn't joke with people that he doesn't respect -- it was a compliment!

Whoa there, Tiny Tim, I disagree completely with that.

I worked in several different engineering disciplines over the years, including industrial, plant, design and process. Let me assure you that writing and spelling are as important to your job as anything else that might be involved, and usually more so. If you make a mistake in a contract proposal due to bad/wrong writing/spelling, it could cost your company thousands/millions of dollars. And your secretary sureasheck isn't always going to catch all of the missing nuances of your mistakes either.

Engineers are known to be as anal as hell when it comes to writing or spelling, as they relate to their job.

JMO obviously.

Yep, I agree. It would also inhibit my social life if I walked around with him in my back pocket.
