Heh, way to go, Scott.  That's your fifteen minutes of fame used up. :)

I especially loved how the one guy thought he could do "psychological 
reading" from your resume and that PROVED things.  Heh.

As for the whole Titor thing, given that we're not in the middle of his

"hoax" angle.  I'm sure whoever did it is never gonna admit it, anyway.
