It sounds like I jumped the gun, though you have to admit that your post could come across as elitist in tone. Your post is very interesting and the thought process is reasonable. I will check out the link for Berea. I've never heard of it, but you did a good job of making me interested in it.
Thanks, I appreciate your response. And you are correct about how my intitial post sounded (after looking back at it).
I have the habit, as do a lot of us communicating in this manner, of writing only a portion of my thoughts as I am composing a post. One portion of my mind seems to assume the reader will automatically know what I am thinking but leaving out.
I apologize in advance to those that read my posts for the next time I do it.
