DB: The truth of the statement that <P>>>>"'Street Smarts' and 'book smarts' are not mutually exclusive" <P>is irrelevant to whether or not this perpetrator possesses either one or both. But I do think that he possesses one far more than the other. He may be able to sneak in and out of Boulder under the noses of BPD, but I also think that he would be chewed up in any reasonably good debate at a Boulder City Council meeting.<P>>>>"But he has also read Chaucer (or at least the Cliff Notes)." <P>If so, only involuntarily. And he probaby forgot it all long ago.<P>>>>"Well, sustained appliction of resourcefulness skills usually leads to becoming fairly wealthy, does it not?" <P>Have you not heard: "Crime doesn't pay?" The result of "sustained application of resourcefulness skills" depends upon exactly which applications to which said "resourcefulness skills" are applied as well as whether or not the application is actually sustained. My impression is that this perpetrator is resourceful in certain ways only, not in others. I don't think, for example, that he could possibly have competed against AG in business, i.e. setting up a company, hiring people, training them, convincing Sun to drop AG, etc. <P>This person is more Paleolithic Man than Renaissance Man.<BR> <BR>
