I would suggest that before you go correcting people that you do a little homework yourself. Carver Mead is indeed a man. I know that there have already been a few flames similar to mine posted to the net, and yes I know that this should probably be sent to you instead of being posted to the net, but Heh, face it John, you deserve it!
