And just because I found myself thinking about it, I earned over 190 hours
credit in philosophy when in school... Wonder if I could get retroactive
credit for all these Lugnet debates? Easily a term's worth of papers--
backed with the occasional quotes from relevant philosophers even! And just
out of further utter curiosity, anyone else have any other philosophy or
religion credentials lying around?

Self-aggrandizement.

And a potentially more relevant matter, but still off-topic... only 60 hours
of credit towards a math/science degree? How many courses is that? 2? My
terms at school (7 week terms, which are comparatively REALLY quick
college-wise) were 28 hours per course. Most college courses are what? 10
week terms? So about what? 30-40 hours per class? Anyway, that's pretty
non-relevant, as stated below, but rather odd that you'd even bother to
state something so trivial. Kinda makes me think he was really reaching to
attain credibility. But that's just my impression.

Not that I know the answer for this guy, but different colleges award credit
hours differently.  I've attended 4 colleges and they all used different
measures of "credit hours".

(...) Not really... I was thinking about applying the same logic in reverse-- I.E. that if I studied philosophy whether I'd somehow earn your respect in my arguments. But you'll notice I didn't do that. I just thought about it for a minute. But if (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
