Just read this.

If there were an online forums dictionary (Yes, I know there is, but...) I'd be putting this thread in as a classic example of stretching for arguments.

Maybe you can provide bob b as an example. He is certainly a bit of a loon.

Hey whatever happened to eight-track cassettes and 5.25 inch disks? It must be a conspiracy. How come virtually no one uses gopher anymore when surfing the net. It must be a conspiracy.

Regarding bob b...

In exchange he had with me <a href="http://www.theologyonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=245d4b5df5dce05668ccf7410973951a& threadid=2502&perpage=15&pagenumber=2" target="_blank">in this theologyonline.com discussion thread</a>, he had this to say:

C, you are making one of the most basic errors that I have seen over the years made by mathematicians working under me...

Can you guys say "percussive sublimation"?

With ease

but if I know what it means is a different matter. (I'm 19, I'm allowed to be undereducated )

BTW, Still been trying for a less-biased Mathematician? (Note how long one, albeit extremely biased one was right in the cover, yet it took Bob 3 months to bring him up)

But you can Google, can't ya?



"Percussive Sublimation is the promotion of an incompetent employee to a "higher" position which brings on no new responsibility but unclogs the rest of the hierarchy. This is known as kicking someone upstairs. Hierarchiology tells us that every thriving organization will be characterized by this accumulation of deadwood at the executive level, consisting of percussive
sublimatees and potential candidates for percussive sublimation. One well- known appliance manufacturing firm has twenty-three vice-presidents!"

I can, but I can also get others to do it (Would have, but not thinkign straight at the time and didn't occur to me)

Yes, that would make sense.
