Hi Gil, 


Pedant, I know, but sophist I had to check with dictionary.com.  While there, I 
found this quote, and I thought you guys might enjoy it. 


"The scholar, without good breeding, is a pedant; the philosopher, a cynic; the 
soldier, a brute; and every man disagreeable." 
-Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield, 4th Earl
