Wow, I've been called a lot of things, but never supercilious.  This is a whole new class of insult for me -- I feel like I've upgraded!

I'm going to reply more substantively to your more heartfelt comment below, but will mention here that meeting people does not necessarily equate with understanding them.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

The idea that I don't talk to patients, know people with problems, try to help them as best I can
I certainly agree that meeting doesn't necessarily lead to knowing.  some people can talk to someone for years and not understand them.  others can listen, understand, empathize and even help in very short periods of time.  hard to tell which is which on a website, imo.

thanks for taking my rant with some good humour.
