- It is due to a shared in-joke, that anyone who posts SAT scores is like
- some pompous braggart [I forget his name, it was revealed to me shortly
- after I posted my SAT scores in response to a direct question] who posted
- them once upon a time, and is a suitable target for ridicule, and worse:
- As Kathi Mills said in reference to my posting the scores, "Let the
- flames begin."
