Dear Keith: Friendly competitiveness is OK. But know this: One's IQ
isn't determined by how much nonsense that person can remember. It is
solely based on figuring out the solution to NON rote problems.
People who read a lot know more word variances, but those who read a
lot, also, tend to be in lock step with the status quo. Anyone who
lists reading as their main hobby won't be very creative. The
opinions I express are mine alone, because I figure out things without
running to get anyone else's explanations! You never did explain
where YOU rated on the graduate record exam, Keith. Didn't you pass?
