Some folks just can't resist the temptation to brag! Me, I gots four or five
dozen o' them degree thingys, but ya don't see me goin' 'round tellin' everyone
I yam a PhD, do ya?
The point was that "Dr. Trollsby" was being congratulated on (supposedly)
having earned his doctoral degree, yet just a few months ago -- and apparently
nothing has changed since then -- he was posting at an intellectual level,
shall we say, just barely above that of Jason Repa.
I say *above* that of Jason Repa, mainly because Trollsby's "repertoire" was
not limited to threats of travelling to the USA to beat-up his detractors.
