I need to raid the archives, find all the glaring generalizations
I've made, and chronicle them :) Who owns the copyright on items
posted to the list?

Wahoo! More anecdotal evidence to refute or balance out the
completely made-up sweeping generalization!

I've heard the same @:)

A few months ago (when I was bitter and single) I had a chat
with my friend's wife. She sat me down and asked what I was
looking for in someone to waste the rest of my life with. I
went through a list of silly attributes and she immediately
told me to get my ass back in college because that's the
only place I'd be able to find anyone like that.

A former roommate of mine has achieved his dream and is finally
back in school (Film Major, UC Berkeley.) He's having a blast
from all accounts. [ Just in from the "I wish I was him" dept. ]
