And then there are trolls, which try to remain anonymous because they can't even dig ditches. You got fired because you couldn't figure out which end of the shovel to use.
And you got fired from your last job as a dish washer for licking the dishes clean.
But then you couldn't get a job teaching - it takes years of real-world experience to be successful teaching in the corporate market. You have *never* shown any original code in usenet. That's why you are so well-known as a troll in so many newsgroups.
