    The idea that the mere fact that Banzi was my thesis advisor
    gives him some sort of higher claim to the work done on Wiring, is, 
    to say the least, frustrating to read.

i dated an interior design student when at university

there was a competition and my so was given second place

my so was crushed and honestly thaer entry was far superior.. the ideas were more interesting and applied, and the effort was more pronounced

i quipped, 'the best entries always get second place because everyone forgets who got second place.. which makes it easier to steal your ideas'

it was meant to console with a bit of humor, but since then i have found the notion poignantly evidenced

academia can be a scary place for ideas

Toss profit into anything, and it can be a scary place.
