Evidence?

 
Just you try trading one in!

 
That's an assertion, not evidence. You should have realised by now that
you aren't any kind of reliable witness, and can inf act be relied on to
pick the most fatuous lying propaganda around.

Excuse me, Bill? ISTR *you're* the one who loves to boast and bask in
the glory of having worked for some Cambridge based outfit at some time
in the dim and distant past!

 
Boast? It was an eventful period, but there wasn't a lot of glory
around.
 

And you got your degree at Sydney University which is hardly an Ivy
League joint! :-D

 
Melbourne University. The "Ivy League" is a collection of eight American
private universities

So neither Sydney nor Melbourne is an Ivy League joint.

At least that's something we *do* agree on! :-D

puts Melbourne at 27th on the international pecking order, which doesn't
say a thing about the education I got there from 1960 to 1969. The
chemistry department where I got my Ph.D. didn't hire anybody who hadn't
graduated from there for the next thirty years, which doesn't suggest
that they were up to much. The first hire from outside that stayed was a
guy I'd written a paper with, and the new professor of Inorganic
Chemistry, hired a year or so later, was a guy who had been in my
primary school class at Burnie, Tasmania, who used to swap "top of the
boys" with me on a pretty regular basis all the way through.
 
You do like to see the world in terms of pecking orders - anything more
informative overloads your tiny brain.

I'm afraid much as you egalitarian types would prefer otherwise, the fauna
of the world evolved and continues to evolve according to a pecking order
and to suggest otherwise flies in the face of both nature and reason. The
world is a very unequal place. You 'Communitarian' types constantly deny
this and dogmatically insist that all are equal, but that's far more
compelling evidence for having a tiny brain than anything I've ever said!
