Their article's content?  He meant to say your work is not worthy
of pays; it was a kind of mild put down.

Oh!  My Gosh,  for real!  Does that mean you get more than
minimum wage?

W H A T ??   Haven't heard of Bob Bass??  Come on, in addition to
having a PhD in physics he has a law degree and is a patent
attorney, and seems to do just about anything else he sets his
mind to.  He even invented a fusion reactor and received a patent
and quite a sizeable settlement from BYU or the Board of the
Mormon Church.  He built a full scale model of a Nick Tesla's coil
with a man from MA by the name of Robert Golka.  Bass worked 
recently for Hughes Helicopter, but now is employed by Litton Ind.
I mean like, get with it William. 

                I was a boy before but I'm out of it now.
