individual Are you for real or just sucking up to ttbn?

Stupid comment of the week award is for you for this comment.

Philip S,
Where's your evidence that they're not overpaid ?

ttbn made the comment "overpaid staff" so you are okay with his unsubstantiated claim.

Please activate brain before applying fingers to keyboard in future.

Being underpaid was the reason for this promotion of university enterprise.
Ex UNE chancellor found corrupt over country pub deal: ICAC .2014.

Former University of New England chancellor John Cassidy behaved corruptly over the sale of a university owned-pub, an anti-corruption body has found. The agency said it was satisfied that “Mr Hendry would not have submitted a tender for the hotel without believing that Mr Cassidy would ultimately become his partner." In fact, ICAC said, quite apart from Mr Hendry having been Abigroup’s chief financial officer, the two men were fellow directors and shareholders of Vercot Pty Ltd.

Philip S,
I seem to recall another thread where you haunted me to no end for an explanation to a remark I made because of your refusal to accept the answer I provided.

You, on the other hand can't even tell if people you defend are worth what they're getting paid. By the looks of it you're one of them hence no disclosure.
As my old friend used to say "Intellectuals are largely ineffectuals" in a sense of usefulness.

Individual You have a very low understanding of the English language if you think asking someone to provide proof of a statement is an admission of defending a particular entity, to wit the one the question was about.

As for your answering the question you claim you were haunted about, you did not answer it because the question was not about the thread it was posted on.

Philip S,
I think you're confusing academic quibble jargon with English.

No, but at least I know how to answer someone.
