    Good Gracious! I must say, though, that I've worked with some young
    scientists* who do think they are God's gift to the universe, and this
    sounds like one of them.

    Back when I was in Library School, UCLA required you have two years of
    Fortran under your belt before you even applied to get into the library
    science program.

    *The great majority of young scientists with whom I've worked have been
    joys to interact with, I hasten to add.
