Hey Brian was the one who called me a troll, and I am fully capable of living up
to my reputation, but I really am here because I am interested in earthquakes.
I'd better leave him alone before I upset everybody, but somehow, I just don't
see him admitting he is wrong. Even when I kinda offer him an out; George
continues whining in "Geology" and he doesn't have the sense to shut up, but
I'll back off now because I am upsetting Petra.
