Now that I think about it, all of life and the entire genepool is a product of the environment. So there.

I have a paper from a doctor testifying me as perfectly sane.

On other news, the place where the reply button was now has delete. Almost deleted your post. Good there is a klingon battlecruiser asking if I was sure about that. Lol.

If that's the case, well done for 2.0. You sustained it for a long time until whatever shit came along to hit your fan and set you back... if you were trying to find better ways of relating to/interacting with people, 2.0 was imo a great success.

Man don't ever ask me to do that job.

Hehe

.. just a minute ..

..okay, I ..

Sorry had to get over the idea of myself doing computery things.  But if I ever had the opportunity I would so do exactly what you almost did like all the time.  In fact, if there was a "Do Not Ever Press This Button"-button, I'm pretty sure I'd sit down on it.

Okay, carry on.

This conclusion rests on two controversial studies by Babiak and Hare. The first study depended largely on indirect proxy indicators. The second study showed a much weaker link between corporate leadership and traits of psychopathy. I think it would be an exaggeration to say that "many" fit the bill.
