you know that is a good point. i just assumed we were all working from the same basis, but we obviously aren't.

dana and many like here don't see that even though i (and many others) scored high enough to meet their standards it would be a cold day in hell before i ever got into an ivy league school. that isn't racist, classist, or any other ist. life is about meeting people and networking. my dad got his job in the factory 30-odd years ago when they weren't hiring because he played poker with one of the HR guys. each of my successive jobs i have worked with or for someone that i sold something to in my last career. people remember those that they have had a positive experience with and move them to the top of the list. as long as the person hired is qualified, there is nothing wrong with that.
