<VV> On Professors...and Profess soars !

[Secular]

  A gentleman pointed to the "BS" as the primary culprit for certain 
  "professors" leaving the virtual-vair arena. 

  Soccer, paid my way through college. There's nothing wrong with sports 
  scholarships. I say that with almost every bone in my legs broken. I'm walking -
   no canes [yet] :) ---- but that's the unfortunate nature of the way that game 
  is played here. 

  Any hooo, for me the players who _tough it out_ till the end of the game
  (at times bruised & battered - broken bones too) are of a different 
  breed. 

  In the like manner, the professors/coaches who offer their precious time for the topic 
  they love and admire are of a totally different fiber (kinda like the viton seals - eh!).  
  Some, call in sick when the intelligent quotient falls below their comfort zone 
  (less than two digits) - some, stay till the end of the semester :)

  I've met both kinds here. A few (who shall remain anonymous) have been 
  more than helpful to almost everyone from young - old - elitist - know it all - and 
  rookie alike. 

  they see the BS, they read it too -- yet they are STILL here -- That, IMHO is the difference 
  between a "tech guide profess-soar" chased away by BS and a public teacher:

  I guess the real world must be less afflicted with BS ...that's why 
  these air heads (I mean air-cooled gurus) divorce the virtual one. 
  How smart they is ! :))
