@bluebayou. I’m very sorry; my intention was not to be tacky. Perhaps if I posted on average 5.75 comments per day for the past eight years I’d have a better grasp of the forum’s etiquette. But, you brought up relevancy in your first reply, which I think is interesting, since I found the information you provided only tangentially germane to the questions I posed.
I asked whether any other college students could identify grade inflation as playing a role in their own high GPAs, and whether they were as uncomfortable with this widespread practice as I am. I gave my personal experience (or, what you derisively considered to be anecdotal particulars) with the subject at hand, because I’m asking people about their personal experience with it and their feelings on its ethicality. While the general information you contributed is certainly intriguing, I was well aware of it beforehand, and, therefore, didn’t ask about it.
