Honest question: are you on drugs, or not a native English speaker?

  Coffee. I know English well enough to understand the term "ad hominem."

    Which is Latin :-)

      Which was the joke, right?

    Heh, sorry, I didn't mean offense - I just found your train of thought a little opaque, but certainly in an interesting way! Either way, I don't think knowing to GZip your pages counts as "education" any more than knowing how to put a horse shoe on a hoof or how to facilitate a corporate merger does.

  He's (she's??) a little confused by moving to the Bay Area or not. He feel's he's educated by classical standards but still has technical knowledge. He has experience learning technical/IT knowledge from the Internet, and values such knowledge, but thinks by being in the bay area, that such knowledge can be accrued faster. He doesn't like the greed he finds in the Bay Area, and is basically trying to justify the loss of potential technical knowledge by leaving (or not even going) through weighing it up against his classical knowledge that his grandmother values more than he does. Tip: stay out of the Bay Area but not too far, maybe to San Jose and keep in touch with a few buddies, but not to those who you truly don't like.
