    Hi Joe Dees -

    I fail to see the logic behind that conclusion.

    Certainly you knew I was speaking of compensatory processes?

    His speech is shut off, but, he has a 'voice'. His legs are shut off, but
    he has a wheelchair.

    All behaviors required, whether assisted or not, to get books to a
    publisher are there.

    And, they are all connected to an intellect that likes to spend almost
    all of its time running rings around airheads.

    So, no, I fail to see any logic behind your conclusion about jocks.

    - Wade
