Mabruk ya Hashim!! You learned how to post in the proper format so that it doesn't completely confuse too many readers!!
BTW... I agree with your advisor about your MBA that your prospects may be better in another field. (at least after the economy of the world improves)

Dear veiledsentiments,
I will NEVER use the "quote function." I am defiantly irremediable.
I much prefer to copy and paste.
" . . . . from negative people like Scot47, Never Ceased to be amazed/ and Veiledsentiments.. ."
Actually, I am sure there are NO other people "like" the above-mentioned; they are in a class by themselves (figuratively, of course.)
Now, if "such as . . . . ." had been used . . . . : )
Regards,
John  |

You are incorrigibly arrogant, too.

Dear WMTN,
"You are incorrigibly arrogant, too.
Superman, watch your step!
Regards as ever,"
"Ultimately �arrogant� and �arrogance� come from Latin where their parent word held a similar sense, but was built on the Latin word for �claim.� Related words have arisen which have meant �adoption��which is claiming as your child, one who is not biologically your offspring.
So, people who are arrogant are claiming something of themselves that they are not."
But I've never claimed to be Superman - only The Green Lantern.
In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!
Regards,
John (aka The Green Lantern) |

Dear John,
You may have a form of forum posting fosilization.

Dear JS,
John definitely belongs to history or folklore or mythology, not to 'prehistory'. And neither do I think that you are a fossil. A fossil was caught somewhere, inescapably, unable to react, think, contemplate, and then destined to die trapped in rock or amber.
You don't belong to the category. You deserve that much, Diehard.
Still I asketh, thou watcheth whither thou steppeth, ye olde etymologist?
Regards.

Dear WMTN,
"Still I asketh, thou watcheth whither thou steppeth, ye olde etymologist?"
One doth not getteth to be sixty-seveneth without one watcheth where one steppeth.
I thanketh thee, howevereth, for thy concerneth.
Regardeth,
Johneth |
