What have "a _lot_" of people learned in the last day or so? 1. Spout a statistic off the top of your head just for the heck of it. 2. When asked where you got the figure from, claim you read it somewhere, you forget where, and it doesn't matter, because you considered it an excellent source at the time. 3. Turn the discussion onto some meta-issue in order to deflect attention from 1. 4. Start all over again. David -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.co.uk davidhorne (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |
