I didn't comment on your intelligence, nor anybody else's; but I will apologize for there being a confusion in that.No problem, accepted (except for your comment on my intelligence ). My wife consistently tells me I am lacking in that area so you are now an official member of the club!
When I say I can't have an intelligent conversation with some one, that doesn't mean the person is dumb, but rather that ideas can't be exchanged to the satisfaction of either party. For instance, I know nothing about black powder firearms, If I met someone who knows a lot about them, we can't have an in-depth intelligent discussion, not because I'm dumb, but because I'm not versed enough in the subject.
