Hmm, and what exactly does an inverted H look like? smile

Chasing the end result is different than what much of this thread discussed, though.

Well, aside from the flippant commentary which comes and goes, I think that "chasing" the rare end results is precisely what it's all about. It's about "winning" and to do so, beating others.



Perhaps, and perhaps this is where my idealism shows. For me anyway, the end goal of education is to produce an enlightened individual, not to gain entrance to a particular college. Yeah, I know...
