End of story.

This coming from someone who read I 'enjoyed' the dodge neon, and thought of me as an idiot.
Anyway, Aredub, let's be honest here. You meet Joe. Joe has a mullet. A nascar shirt. He drives a rusty cavalier. He works GM plant, installing dash clusters. His favorite beer is budweiser. He uses an older compaq to get on the internet.
Now we meet John. John has a normal haircut. He wears a business suit. He drives a new BMW 5 series. He owns his own business, an advertising agency. His favorite beer is Heiniken. He uses a new G5 for the net, flash animation, web design, and photoshop.
Who do you think is more intelligent???
Exactly.
John. The moral of the story? YOU CAN pre-emptively get an idea of WHO a person is, based on their belongings, hobbies, and likes/dislikes.
