I think someone must remind Brett that there's a reason you can't spell
"mensa" no matter how many ways you mix up the letters "extropian".

If extropians were really all about verbal volleyball and
smarter-than-thou, instead of being all about simply deepening one's
well of knowledge by pooling it with other like-minded individuals,
then there would simply be no extropians -- we'd all just join an
organization like MENSA and call it a day.
