No I haven't! That was quite good, thanks.

By the way, I fully share yours (and Eliezer's) sentiment in regard to academic philosophy. I took a "philosophy of mind" course in college, thinking that would be extremely interesting, and I ended up dropping the class in short order. It was only after a long study of Rand that I ever became interested in philosophy again, once I realized I had a sane basis on which to proceed.
