    I believe I noted my "couldn't cut it" remark was off base. You can believe it or not but I didnt mean it the way it came across. OK this is where I get a "Riiiiight" reply. What I find strange/funny/concerning is how quickly you and others go to the WP dodged a bullet, scorned applicant...

    2016 Stats - Office of the Dean
