I don't know about anybody else, but I'm finding deep, deep irony in the signature quote you chose to append to your message.

I would recommend, for example, that you spend a little of your scarce resources reading the discussion that's been going on, on this list, for the last several months, rather than asking insulting questions that have been thoroughly answered, repeatedly, with good hard sciencey answers. Sharan is doing good hard work here that is for the benefit of the long-term viability of the Foundation.
