If I'm not mistaken, Broker's screen name describes his profession. It's much as if you selected "Verbal Masturbator" as your screen name.

When I think of the word "succinct", I do not usually associate it with someone who uses 803 words (at the time of this writing) in the process of making entirely no point whatsoever.
BTW - for someone who self-proclaims to be so damn smart about using language, here are some tips that may help your writing convey your almighty intelligence:
1) The possessive form of "it" is "its", not "it's" (you've made this mistake at least twice in this post, so don't tell me it's a typo).
2) The contraction of "you are" it "You're", not "your".
3) You seem to be mixing up at least two different styling rules (Chicago Manual of Style and MLA) regarding usage of the ellipsis. Pick one and stick with it.
4) The possessive form of "money" is "money's", not "monies" (as in "getting your money's worth").
5) If KYS338 makes the statement "you are no more educated then you are mature", and you proceed to call him a liar, then the only logical conclusion we can draw is that you believe yourself to be <span style="font-style: italic">less</span> mature than you are educated. This is generally not regarded as a compliment, but whatever.
I'm not normally one to play the part of Grammar Nazi, but if someone is going to puff their up their chest and brag about how their education has led to such mastery of the language... well, that makes many of these errors pretty damn tough to ignore.
What would be really damn impressive is if your superior intellect would have allowed you to recognize the futility of attempting to win a flame war, instead of digging a deeper hole each time you post.
I shall now sit back and wait to see what words you dig out of an online thesaurus for your response
