p>Woof! br> — Mike Showalter br> Austin, Texas /p>Please warn Diane Smith that her e-mails are being covertly monitored by dangerous leftists. If things get out of hand, they may recruit hordes of blue-state reinforcements from the blogosphere for an all-out e-assault.

p>I agree that Mensa isn’t a significant organization. The members are smart, but so are lots of other people who never join, and the turnover rate is high. Those who are qualified and don’t join may have professional or academic credentials that they consider more important. So there is an overrepresentation in Mensa of wannabes of various ilks. I found the creationists particularly annoying. br> — Paul Dorell br> Highland Park, Illinois /p>
