Scott, you've posted over three dozen utterly content-free articles in
the last few days.  Are you incapable of practicing what you preach?  

If there IS no content to an article, then criticism of the author is
perhaps not unjustified.  Or, at least, criticism of the author's
JUDGMENT is not without justification.  Again and again, we ask you for
evidence for your claims; all we get is "admit it," and, "it's obvious,"
and "I know this from reading the newsgroup," and so on.  

Time to shape up and MAKe this a "more intelligent forum for
discussion."  By discussing, for a change.

After Asimov wrote that, he rejoined Mensa and remained a member until a year or
two before his death, when he ceased his membership (because of his ill health)
in virtually every club to which he belonged.  The quote you so graciously
provided was about the early days of Mensa when we did have some members who were
as Asimov described.  Mensa, as has its membership, has matured since those early
days.  Dr. Asimov was a member for 15 to 20 years after he wrote those words, and
was during the majority of that time, an honorary International Vice President of
Mensa.  He included a number of Mensans and at least one employee of Mensa (the
executive director) among his close friends.

Other notable Mensans include the Late Buckminster Fuller (honorary
International President), Sir Clive Sinclair (Sinclair Computers), Don
Pedersen (former president of Ford Motor Company), F. Lee Bailey, Theodore
Bikel, Adrian Kronaur (SP?) (_Good Morning, Vietnam!_), and Jean Auel.

Oh, so that's why I pay Mass Income Tax.  Wonder who my state representative
is.

I live in NH, the RG was definitely in NH.  Manchester, MA changed their name
a few years ago and now is "Manchester by the Sea" (Gack).

[Goprdon Cross (I think) wrote about air travel.]
Not sure about airline status these days, but yesterday was groundbreaking
for a new airline terminal.  As it gets harder and harder to fight one's
way into Logan, the Manchester airport keeps doing better.  On the
other hand, there's not as much competition as there is between bigger
cities.

Sigh, I remember the good old days when I left home for the 20 minute
drive (independent of time of day) to the airport, leave my car outside
and come back a couple days later.  A parking fee envelope would be
under the window wiper - $2 a day unless you had a "I fly Manchester"
bumper sticker.  Then it was only $1 a day.

The driver doen't take much longer, but finding a parking place does.  The
new terminal will have a parking garage.  And will probably cost more than
$2 a day....

Just in case he doesn't recall it at all, I can say that it was sometime

This does not mean you should go around making posts which offend, or even
hurt other people.  If you use the words "fuck" or "shit" or whatever,
very few people will care, but they would surely think there are better
words to use.  When you put words like "God" or "Jesus" into these sentences,
you are making a very personal attack against a large number of people.

A Physics teacher of mine once explaine it this way:  Suppose your mother's
name was Alice.  Now suppose I say "Dammit Alice!" everytime I got a little
angry.  Wouldn't that start to get you even slightly irate?

It's fine and dandy that you don't like religion, but that doesn't mean that
you are right, or that you should cause undue harm by your assertions.

An what about money as being the biggest evil ever foisted on the human race?
At least religion tends to teach people (some) good values.  The only good
arguments for money is that making it by earning it "builds character".
Yeah right.

Mr. Tai,

I was a member of American Mensa for a while.  As stated in an
earlier post, I am Hispanic.  I always found Mensa to be a very
open organization, and I never encountered any evidence of the
bias you suggest.

In that case, I don't understand.  How can there be a highest point without

Apology accepted.  Let me reiterate an earlier request that criticism

Nope; that is merely a coincidence.  SATs are scored on a scale of 200-800 (with
500 being average) for each part, or 400-1600 (with 1000 being average) for
the two parts combined.  IQs are theoretically open ended at the top, with a
zero bottom score.

There are apparently many people who don't know much, if

them posted here asking for help.  And I'm not just criticizing
what you did; I'm aiming this at anyone who posts questions to
the net without loooking for answers in appropriate newsgroups or
opening some references first.  The bit in rn that talks about
postings costing thousands and thousands of dollars was in part a
joke, but it's partly serious, too.  The net is split into
newsgroups and newsgroups have FAQ postings so that people can
more easily find information.  Please take the time to look a bit

Scott copmplained about language used here against him before.  Nothing else

to apply some shock treatment.  Although it may have seemed that I was ranting

Probably because it's normed differently.  Has a different standard

Well, there are things that could be done if the consensus was
the group was being used contrary to the wishes of the majority
of readers.  The group could be made moderated.  So the
discussion is of some value, if for no other reason than to
determine how people feel about the subject matter of the
