Your unwillingness to accept reality doesn't make reality any less real.

Plenty of talented people who have been fortunate enough to have parents that didn't trample their dreams (and potential) have gone one to become successful in their own right without the aid of a degree.

Obviously my humor is wasted on HN.

I apologize if I came off as rude and a bit dense, but it seems you've been on HN long enough to realize, it's a far cry from Reddit (despite frequent mentions to the contrary) and humor is verboten unless it's written in MATLAB.

If I wanted to see idiotic pun threads/snarky irrelevant comments I would go to reddit. I don't want to be rude but I want HN to be a site for serious discussion on mostly technical topics.
