As far as I have seen, most people only as honest as is possible with
a small effort. They havn't even studied mathematics, physics, or
religion enough to know what it means to be really honest. I don't
think the level of Olcott's honesty is far from the level of an average
person although it is from the level expected in comp.thoery or any
sci group.

Apparently he foud out that whatever he was looking for in comp.lang.c
is not there.
