No, Robert, I don't think that at all, but it's a nice effort to put words in my mouth (good lawyer work there, whadda I owe ya fer it?).  I may be arrogant, but I'm certainly not ignorant, or at least not as much so as you're displaying. 

The hide that I refer to is not your title abstract hide, but the new, shiny serpentine hide you wear as a "loy-ya".  You're pretty defensive about your credentials and your new profession.  It's kinda easy to get under your skin.

Plus, you really come off as at-least a big of a jackass as me, most of the time, so we can skip to arrogance-anon meetings together. 

Your skin's pretty thin, really.  I've found that alone to be humorous.  You keep me laughin' Robert.
