Actually, MVP, if you read the books thread, you'll see I gave you a compliment about being a broad reader, apparently outside of your study area. That is actually a far more meaningful compliment than congratulating you on what school you attended.
You haven't taught students, something I did in Boston and here. Frankly, I've known students from all levels of education and some are extremely bright, but most are only smart within their microcosm. Take them outside of that and they are like fish flopping outside of their fishbowl. Completely unoriginal thinkers. I daresay I'd have a much better time taking one of your economics courses than you would taking a physics or chemistry course.
So, from someone whose been at a school just as good as you, with a much higher degree, I say to you & Berkeley: Meh.
You made a blanket comment in this thread that didn't take into account the benefit that people get from venting online. Fras disagreed (I reposted his reply) and I did also. So, while your comment about Nish seeking advice for PPD is technically correct (duh), it is also an obvious comment (Nish pointed this out) and was ambiguous seeing as how you don't seem to know how to use commas.
So. Berkeley graduate (big deal). Let's just say I've met much smarter than you, and that has nothing to do with where I went to school. I met my share of mediocre minds in Boston too. Keep trying tho, you are young yet, and like I say, you seem to have some potential.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
