Dobber, has anyone told you that you are absolutely nuts.
by the way, good idea. it will be a holiday for hayseeds. 
Yes. It is a badge of honor. At my real job, I am always asked, "Hey dobber, we are going to have a little brainstorming session on <whatever>, when would you be able to join us?" They never use my ideas. What I think happens is that after I leave the room, everyone else sets around looking at each other saying, "Holy eff, what is up with dobber?!"
One of these times I am going to come with an idea "that is just so crazy it just. might. work." Actually, I am hoping that happened today. I met with a dude who works for the Military. He was all excited that I was countering his wacky ideas with my own wacky ideas. It was pretty great. If I could tell you the details, it would have to be in the Kstate0 thread.
