Ooooh, wow, my computer fucked up, good point to pounce on.  
 
 Just out of curiousity, where did you go to college?

Looks like we have a little rivalry brewing here, let's hope it's not as bad as sonick and mine.   ;)

I went to a little Pac-Ten conference University in Europe.  Perhaps you've heard of them, La Sorbonne de Manchester.

i like the rear window sticker, written in calligraphy, much like those precious university-touting stickers omnipresent in DC cars, which says: "Your College Sucks."

I'm delighted that you went to school in Europe, clearly that makes you more intelligent than I could ever hope to be.  But how about the next time you decide to criticize someone for their choice in schools, perhaps you could consider the fact that not everyone operates on an unlimited budget.  So I'm very sorry if my choice of schools doesn't meet your standards, but if you could find it in your infinite wisdom to forgive me for noting a fellow classmate, I would be forever in your grace.
 
 By the way, the word university on its own is not a proper noun, and therefore is not capitalized.

this string kind of reminds of a washington city paper personal ad that i read around the turn of the century.  evidently some washington socialite had deigned to place an ad stating that her main dating requirement was something like, "third generation ivy league man."  
 
 if she stuck with the personals as the sole outlet for all of her social lubrication needs, she would have to still be looking for her mr. right, right?
 
 also, would that "lady" make an exception for a grad from the sorbonne?  oxford?

I was making a fine distiction between University of Paris-Sorbonne Paris IV & University of Maryland.
 
 As you probably know, Germany has four Universities, France three, England two and Maryland 27.

As you probably know, I did not know that.  Nor do I really care.  I chose my school.  You chose yours.  Clearly yours is so vastly superior that it has enabled you to pursue a life that allows you to act out your disgust for us inferior intellects on internet message boards.  An education well worth it, no doubt.
