Well, it is patently obvious that it was not on the verbal scale, just
read the original post. Additionally, it is considered to be in very poor
taste to volunteer one's i.q., rather like volunteering the size of one's
penis in mixed company. It also displays a lack of self-esteem in such
an obvious fashion as to cause everyone around you to be embarrassed on 
your behalf. I certainly am. 

On a final note, this is hardly the place to try to impress anyone with 
your meagre intellect. This is the Kate Bush group, and for a Katefan, 
intelligence is included in the price of admission.
