Get off your highhorse, Mr. Lindenbach, Student in Human Pathobiology.
I suppose you would suggest also that us "armchair hacks" as you so
eloquently put it should also quit asking "less academic" questions about
how HIV is transmitted? I can see how that would really benefit us all.

Not to mention, it would save you precious time not having to read our
annoying questions. I really hope your attitude is not reflective of
the scientific community as a whole.
