No credit!

I don't know about that. A Ph. D is the highest doctorate a person can
normally attain. A person that knows practically all about some subject
to the point that he writes articles and books to further learning about
that subject increasing knowledge among fellow men. He is usually
pushing the boundaries of that subject producing original work.

The path is bachelors, masters, more advanced courses, then a published
dissertation or thesis under the guidance of a sponsor. Once the
published original work is reviewed and accepted by peers in that field
then a Ph.D. is awarded by the university where the work was done.

So where is your thesis?

It's lost in space!

Who was your sponsor?

Bryant definitely needs a sponsor!

What have you published since then?

He's "published" a lot of undocumented claims!

Now answer the question you originally posed.


I said you either bury the power lines or trim the trees. Doing nothing
because it may be a long time before there's a storm is gambling with
people's lives.

We used to be better than that. We are a mediocre second-rate ********
country nowadays.

Crap, they've a private contractor trimming trees every spring, summer and fall
here.

Sometimes I think they go overboard, but, it sure is cool that they can feed a
huge branch into those chippers!

Well, he has "claimed" to have completed all of his doctoral work, except for his
dissertation...

....I still remember the laugh the woman had there in the records department at
Wayne State when she was checking his records...it spoke volumes!

Well, maybe the problem was he could not get someone to sponsor or
mentor him. He must have ticked everyone off.

Yeah, maybe he did. In retrospect I should have asked a few more questions, but at
the time I was only interested in verifying that he did not indeed have a PhD. And
BINGO!, he didn't. It was a great moment. Kind of like finding out that 'Eduardo'
never held an amateur radio license!

That is absurd on its face

If you cut a check every year and you are more than 10% off you will be
paying another assessment.

I didn't say a minimal amount of skill wasn't required

I try to have my tax deductions keep pace with my obligations but things
change throughout the year. My tax guy was worth way more than his fee
this year.

I use HR Block Tak Cut Premium. Way more accurate than a human.

Affluent enough I suppose to have the tree trimmers here quite a bit!

You have not done this or thought it through and just gave a distracting
