look at any of these books and you will be able to find information supporting my claims. I think that you should exercise a more adavcend level of maturity when dealing with people who you think are wrong. Hurling insults and attacking personal aspects of people's lives (such as their intelligence, their school, what-have-you) is not a proffesional attitude to be taking. I would have expected a bit better, especially out of an administrator or facilitator of this site.
