If you are oblivious to 99% of the post, then you have no case to back up your belief of declining of IQ's on this board. All you have proven is you consciously ignore most post on CP. Yippe fucking skippee. I know men and women with PHD's who can't even assemble a cats' littler box. Your personal accreditations means shit on a message board full of strangers. Well let me excercise your graduate degree toting mind real quick collective: 1. Assembled or accumulated into a whole. 2. Of, relating to, characteristic of, or made by a number of people acting as a group: a collective decision. "Collective IQ of the board" is the same thing as saying everyone. It's OK to be wrong. Many people before you have been and many more after you will also so don't fear it because you are not Jesus Christ nor or you that important.
