AB Hammer,
You're not implying that I've actually been attacking jim_mich, are you? ...rather than being the victim of his diversionary tactics to not have to come clean and acknowledge his mistaken math?
I'd like to let you know now, then, that I graduated 4th in my high school class of 207. In high school I also won a county wide geometry contest held at a local college beating the supposed best geometry students from about five local area high schools. I scored 33's in both the math and science sections of my ACT college admissions test ranking me in the 99th percentile in both those categories. ...and though I only graduated with honors from college (because I was a slacker), I scored in the top 2 percent (98th percentile) overall of graduating college seniors on a competency exam we were required to take before graduation.
So, when I tell you and others who quite apparently don't do math that jim_mich's math is indeed mistaken, it would probably be a rather safe bet that it actually is. ...though, of course, you and they might actually want to try to learn some math for yourselves so you wouldn't have to take my word for it or jim_mich's word for it.
...and then you could even help me convince jim_mich that his math still needs correcting and help him to understand where he went wrong.
I despise lying and corrupt politicians, don't you? ...especially when they start the mud slinging.
Well, the mud has been flying my way for quite some time now.
Surely you haven't accepted jim's word as truth? ...that means you yourself would have fallen for (corrupt) politics 101 - which I can see jim_mich already understands very very well.
I quite likely wouldn't make it as a politician myself, though. I tend to be way too honest.
Take care.
Dwayne
