    Ladies and gentlemen:

    Let me be brief. I would like to announce the imminent publication
    (somewhere on the web) of my irrefutable Theory of the Existence of
    God and Other Incredibly Important and Interesting Things, which I
    prefer to call TEGOIIIT. It will put all debates about everything,
    and even some about nothing, to rest. (Then we'll have more time
    to do research.)

    Now, I'd like to really explain it to you all, but in fact it's far
    too complicated for any of you to understand, not so much due to
    stupidity or ignorance, but more to a combination of the two, owing
    to the fact that none of you possesses the necessary credentials,
    which I outline below.

      Ph.D. in neuroscience
      M.S. in toxicology
      B.S. in cell and developmental biology and mathematics
      high school diploma from Cortez High School in Phoenix, Arizona
      parent of 5 hominid offspring
      one-time resident of New Jersey (toxicological field experience)
      occasional visitor to both the Grand Canyon and Cape Cod

    I hope it's clear how these credentials translate into galactic-
    class intellectual prowess. And I hope that at least a handful
    of you can see how this collection of credentials, almost certainly
    unparallelled in this particular universe, qualify me (and only me)
    to advance and critique this TEGOIIIT. If you can't see it, then
    there's really nothing I can do to help you. And for crying out
    loud, don't clutter my mailbox with your pathetic criticisms of
    my ideas, unless you're a Nobel laureate or some other worthy
    manifestation of Mind.

    Now let's all get back to work.

    (TEGOIIIT home page rollout TBA)

    Hoping no one laughs too hard at my credentials,
    Steve Matheson, b.i.

    (I got the b.i. from Howard Van Till, who I think has never posted
    his TEGOIIIT or his credentials)
