I often do. So I have contributed more to perceptions of the world
that you have. If you claim that you have contributed more to the
actual world, I won't argue about that.

Paranoia abounds on this site. A schoolgirl, working on a variant of a
fairly commonplace degree ( where have all these puzzled posters been?) --
involved wth hotel management, travel agency mamanagement, et al) asks a
question, and asses tighten up all over the place.

If I go to that site will they send me an exact replica of Omar Shariff in "Doctor

Omar Shariff might. He may be a good actor, but he's not as young as
he used to be. How is your impression of Julie Christie? Stimulating?

Assuming you haven't mastered cloning, the only Omar Shariff you could
possibly have is one acting as if he was 40 years younger.

Strathclyde has had postgraduate degrees in tourism for more than
20 years. A friend of mine did one. Last I heard he was running
a pretty successful tour company in his home country.

They also have a ferociously bean-counting managerial style which
probably forbids students from posting to Usenet in case it takes
electrons out of the IT budget.
