As I've asked == for the umpteenth time -- for posters like "Earthling" for example, to name all these good places (by "Earthling's count: 15) he's worked (sorry, I am assuming "Earthling" is male), but of course, as always, no school names are provided.

As "Earthling" speaks of negative trends (I prefer to think such posts as warnings), his post also represents a trend as well: a common, generic rebuttal found on this forum. The kind that tells people that there are good places to works, but ALWAYS fails to provide more specific information. These types of posts are ones I'm sick to death of reading.

Was his post anymore informative than the "negative" ones he speaks of? Not to me.
