Maybe, but up until recently, those skills apparently didn't include learning Forth.  And that's just *weird* because while Forth has an unusual syntax compared to other languages, it is a very traditional, very conservative, very procedural imperative language that other programmers can pick up the basics of in less than a day.  When did you first start writing in this newsgroup again?

Yeah, I have a pretty good idea.  I guess it's possible to be a genius who take *years* to learn new things.  Maybe your problem is all that curiosity and art that fills your mind has pushed out the part of the brain that is required to understand the cartoons of Starting Forth.

One observation I've had about people who can legitimately be called geniuses is that you don't need them to tell you they are a genius.  You can tell from their work, their questions, and the quality of the discussions they engage in.  In other words, it's self-evident.  Perhaps if you have to tell people you're a genius and constantly try to prove your worth by citing your IQ and bank account, then maybe you're not as hot as you think you are.  Just sayin'.
