Larry -

Well, there have to be a few exceptions to the rule, as I graduated from
high school in 1979.  However, I recognized in 11th grade that I had
happened upon an EXCEPTIONAL english teacher, and chose to take her classes
in 12th grade so as to benefit more from her great wisdom.  Other than
that, I think I tend to agree with your Philly friend - although I wonder
about people who graduated in 1975.  Are they sitting on the fence?  Can
half of them write and the other half can't?  I only ask because the theory
mentions those who graduated before and after, but neglects those who
graduated in 1975.

P.S.  Sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge to look through the hole in the
theory. ;-)
