Bono, Steve Jobs, etc.

Perhaps there's some talmudic subtlety I'm missing or, more likely, 
not, but your conclusion, that I "really" am part of the thinking 
world, is just what I said:  the thinking world certainly includes me.

Lot of fuss and fervor over a term that means nothing more than "those 
with an opinion (about this)."

Nevertheless, I am flattered by the effort, however tortured, to come 
up with a mot that is, alas, not so bon.

But this is exquisite self-parody. Wonderful stuff.You *think*, you 
say, that the 'thinking world' agrees with you, and disagrees with me? 
QED: you 'think', therefore you really *are* part of the thinking 
world.-----------------------------The thinking world certainly 
includes me and disagrees, I think I can say, with you. Which is not to 
say that you should change your position.  "To each their own." (sic)
