I'm glad things are going well for you, SpaceCase!

Consider yourself lucky. The same types from mine are quite possibly inheriting positions in multi-million dollar corporations. Karma doesn't apply when the a**holes are obscenely wealthy by way of their parents' efforts (or grandparents, or even further back.)
Same here, comrade! I went to one of these top-notch expensive "public" schools (UK) for two years, and was bullied like s**t. The snobs liked to make fun of the fact I came from a poorer background (I was only middle-class and many of them were of the landowning and CEO class). They would often walk around the school and order other kids around as if they owned the place! I got into that school on my own merit and my own hard work, whereas they got in because Daddy was rich. Its not a nice thought knowing that these same people are probably directors of companies and stuff now and no doubt exploiting the masses and the 3rd world like no tomorrow. One good thing came out of it though - it has made me a more determined socialist and instilled in me an inherent hatred of the unfairness of the capitalist system. The bastards will pay one day - hopefully in a bloody revolution.
Sorry, I didn't mean to derail your thread, SpaceCase - I said my bit, and I'll be quiet now!
