Below is my original post. But I just clicked on deQ's post above.
Wow, deQ, you must have the thinnest skin on the planet. If I called for the resignation, in any form, of people who have, RIGHTLY SO, called me a Jerk for my Jerk-like behavior, few if any of my family and friends would be left.
Now, read my earlier whimsical post, unpublished until now post.
When Gregor Mendel discovered the human gene he immediately decided to keep one of the dominant genes Top Secret. As a matter of fact he ordered that all the data on this gene be shredded and burnt, the ashes scattered to the wind.
Why you ask?
Because this gene, the JERK gene was dominant and active in every male that ever lived on the planet. Sadly, no, tragically, JERK-like behavior is never obvious to the JERK at the time. All of us are unaware of our JERK-like behavior at the time. The phrase "at the time" is the key. I look back on my behavior over the years, and I am red-faced, 120% embarassed by some, well more than some, of my behavior. At the time I was dead certain that I was right, possessed the truth of the true believer.
de'Q this applies to you and me and all those males.

I just read Bmachine's post above. I give it a +1 in spades.
