    Nope, CBSU (Cindy).

    Clown, I think JHM could be serious - as a Cornell grad he takes the whole "almost an Ivy" thing seriously.

      I've worked with many people over the years from a wide variety of backgrounds, and I think I can safely say that there is no noticeable correlation between college attended (if any) and the ability to think clearly in practical real-life situations.

        This is correct. I was just being a smartass. I don't really think Backes's 4.0 is equivalent to the 1.5 I had at Cornell.

              Doubt that Backes is too worried about what a few nay-sayers might think. You shouldn't be either.


              I got my Graphic Design degree (2nd degree) from a 2 year technical school that is highly respected in that area. I was dean's list every semester.

              The graduates from the school I went to are far more respected and recruited than our counterparts that got the same degree from UW.

                A 1.5 at Cornell? I guess that means he'll never be qualified to manage a Days Inn.

                  I didn't know that Cornell is now tArrogance. Guess I missed that memo.

                                Maybe you are saying that you don't notice any difference between college attended because of attending a substandard college at which you did not get the education required to be able to think clearly about this subject? I blame all my mental lapses on the air(years ago) in Troy NY.
