Don’t be obtuse!  Both Mike and I have told frankly about our experiences in 
earning our degrees, and we have explicitly said what kind of degree it 
was/is.  And when you were asked from where you got your insights, you have 
nothing better to do than to evade by referring to a request that I made *in 
a completely different context*?

There is no logical reason for you to not be as frank as we were unless you 
are a pretender.

I think your University required more autonomy for the research project. As
I recall, I only had one course (Physics 433 - Experimental Research
Project 1.0 credits) where I did anything completely alone.

They did have a list of suggestions if we couldn't think of something on
our own. I picked design & fabrication of an experimental apparatus that
they could use to demonstrate electrons travelling in circular paths in a
magnetic field. I did the (fairly elementary) calculations for the
dimensions, made tech drawings of the device, and it was built by someone
in the University machine shop. 

But the vacuum pump could never get the pressure down enough in the device
to actually use it as intended. I don't recall oraly 'defending' my thesis.
It was essentially a fluffed-up lab report explaining that probably an
insect crawled inside when nobody was looking.

I have absolutely no idea how they arrived at the 74% I got in that course.

"No logical reason." Sounds like something Spock would say, PointedEars.

Trying to get you to put your money where your big mouth is?  OK.

Mike has said that he earned a B.Sc., I have said that I earned a B.Sc.  
Since we are both posting under our real names¹, those claims can be double-
checked and confirmed.

What degree(s) have you earned, "Odd Bodkin", that enable(s) you to provide 
an *informed* opinion on why a potential employer would choose a person with 
a degree?  And how could we double-check this, given that you have implied 
that you are not even posting under your real name?

So far you have only said:

We are discussing *first-hand experience* here, "Odd Bodkin"; not things you 
have heard, or books about higher education that you may have eaten lately 
(like the physics books that you claim to have read).

Put your money where your big mouth is.

I have a B.A. and a M.S., thanks.
And I have not *implied* that I'm not posting under my real name, I've 
stated that explicitly, as should be obvious.

Well, I'm relating what I've read from a lot of scientists. If you want 
to then claim that what they've read should be considered invalid, 
because it's not consistent with your direct, personal experience, then 
come right out and say that.

My official first name is "Michael". Duffy is not a common family name, but
common enough to make it difficult for cyberstalkers to mess with me,
especially given all of the notoriety of the ongoing criminal trial of the
senator Mike Duffy.

I had no idea that the fake domain I picked for my obviously fake email
address actually belongs to anyone. Thanks for pointing this out Thomas; I
will shortly modify it to something verified as belonging to nobody.

I recently changed ISPs, and the new one gives me a few addresses I can
receive with, although I cannot originate from the secondary addresses.

Since it is easy for me to change them without notifying all of my contacts
(who use the primary), I have decided to aquiesce to your suggestion to
provide a workable email address which should show up in the headers for
this and all subsequent messages posted by me.

Also, I have resurrected my personal not-for-profit website (see sig)

Exactly. And people wonder why I might possibly use something other than

Some people don't really think about the possible consequences to putting personal information on newsgroups and by the time they realize the ramifications, it's too late. Some, (BJ), then try to bluff and claim that they are being forthright and the rest of us are lily livered because we don't.

Note: If you're gonna bluff, you have to be ready to pay the price.

Ben has already acknowledged that he has a common chore of fending off 
collection agencies who are trying to collect debts resulting from 
identity theft. To him, putting his name out there in public is worth 
that trouble.

PointedEars Lahn says that using an alias to deflect cyberstalking and 
identity theft smacks of paranoia. Which is what I would expect someone 
with either a lot of hubris or lack of victim experience to say.

I exercise caution for a well-justified reason.

It's called honesty, HAVC. Honesty is always worth the trouble. Atheists 
like you believe in animal values rather than morality. Animals use 
coloration and "spoofing" to fool their prey so they can attack. That's 
what you believe. Natural Selection. Another animal has something you 
want, if you are strong enough you simply take it. If they get in your 
way, you kill them. There is no morality among animals... or atheists.

Kookers are always paranoid. That's my rule. Criminals always try to 
hide their identity because they KNOW they are guilty even before they 
commit the crimes. That is you.

Namely because you are guilty.

Well, given your strong atheist religious faith, I hope I'm not getting

Your fixation upon “benj” is obvious public knowledge. Did “benj” mock you?

Sure “benj” is a string of 4 letters. Yet Ben Jacoby is a real person.
You Thomas have been told this before. What's your problem Lahn?

'PointedEars' should take his 'PointedFingers' and just leave Usenet.
Real people have come here to discuss their thoughts since like
forever. Their thoughts and ideas need not follow your AI Party Line.

Benj is real. I picked it as an abbreviation for BEN Jacoby. Later I 
noticed that it also works as an abbreviation for "BENJAMIN" as well 
just as "Ben" is. Win-win.

If I were to mock ole Spockola, he'd know it. The fact that he's a 
trekkie and we have to explain name abbreviations to him says it all. 
I'll bet he thinks he's learned a LOT of science at Trekkie conventions.

In fact it was being stalked and hassled by trekkies trying to convince 
Boinker that star trek "science" was all real that made him get paranoid 
and withdraw into his cocoon of anonymity! Hey, they held a trek 
convention here once. I went down there. I wouldn't pay to get in, of 
course, but the show on the sidewalk outside made it worth the trip!

Price? Just deal with a little identity theft and a few viruses on your 
computer? Crap. You pussy! All it takes is to have enough intelligence 
to deal with those things and it's no problem. You an Boinker are such 
pussies (as Trump would say). Yet you want to tell everyone else what to do!

Dance kook Dance!
