I havn't been around long enough on this list to know, but is this kind of hate mail campaign/talk loud and burp in the movies/drive on the pavements/honk at old ladies crossing the streets/spit in the drinking fountain behaviour common on PDML or is it just a passing phase. I don't see the point, don't really care to know why people have to tell one another that they are better anyway. Go www.mensa.com if you really want to know who's smarter. But if your wife just left you or your mother through your entire playboy collection in the trash please find some other means to get over it.
