Went to a couple of meetings, did not enjoy it, nor was I challenged.
Came across as a silly puzzle/trivia club.

A tad sooner but not nearly as well.

Permit me to set you permanently straight, then: I have never conflated the two and never will. You can search every post I've ever written should you require further proof. Conflation is and remains completely absent, though the more frantic of my opposition may choose to read it into some things I've written. But then, they're trying too hard.

Thing is, guys, you persist in assuming I'm not too bright, in the face of any and all evidence. What does this say about your own powers of intellectual penetration? Does this perhaps say something about why I burst into disbelieving, disparaging laughter at some of your remarks? Is a poorly-founded yet perennial assumption the other guy has to be dim not itself a sign of some stupidity?

Mensa does need to be handled right -- my very bright mother-in-law, rest her soul, tried a few Mensa meetings herself and found them mainly exchanging recipes. Very disappointed, she was. Clearly there are better ways to run Mensa chapters than that -- continuing education or something.

Perhaps you should offer your higher intellect to mensa and tell them how they should run their organisation UG. I'm sure they'd be very impressed with your input.

Now there's a notion. And I can offer recipes, too!
