If you occasionally research these newsgroups, then you've probably
come across the term 'viatologist'.  What does this term mean?

A viatologist is one who scientifically studies roads.  Data are
collected from field research and through the scientific method, then
interpreted and shared publicly to advance the understanding of roads
worldwide.  Viatologists can study broad areas like highway numbering
standards, or focus specifically on pavement types or certain
intersections worthy of interest.

For more information on the study of viatology, including its
etymology and foreign translations, please refer to http://wwtl.info/#viatology.html
.

By your scientific and independent study of roads, viatology may one
day become a legitimate study in scholastic and science foundations.

It means one who studies equine excrement, because viatologists are 
full of horseshit.

I don't know about viatrollogy, but at Northwestern University, the
scientific and independent study of roads goes back to 1954 if not
1936, when their Traffic Institute was founded:

Are you saying that CalRog is wrong?  Oh No! The Horror! I am so 
disillusioned, what will all of us millions of fans do now?  Our hero 
has feet of clay. I guess that goes with his head of concrete though.

Yes, but I bet it's studied like an engineering discipline: how figure
out what their capacity would be, how to make them safer, how to build
them less expensively to last a long time.  Not just pretend they're
some sort of natural phenomenon to take pictures of and leave it at
that.

The correct term, of course, is viatrollogy, which is the concerted 
effort (not study) to increase traffic on a pathetic excuse for a web site.

If one wears the title of '-ologist' as in geologist for example this
implies the person has completed a recognised educational course in
geology, AFAIAA up until the exams are passed they are geology
students. Which body did the poster graduate from and what other
universities offer courses in 'viat'.

Someone who studies their own colon, by inserting their head as far up
their backside as possible.

They all do.  Viatology is a cult of mental masturbation.  All
universities have students majoring in that.  Unfortunately, some of
them discover usenet.  -Dave

nno no.... it's vitamins!

What does a viatologist study??

A way to annoy readers in the usenet groups he posts his spew in.

Yep, the OP had better get ready for a vicious personal attack from
SuperTroll Cal-El or one of his sock puppets. He should be prepared
for some combination of the following:

* his sexual orientation will be questioned
* his living arrangements will be mischaracterized as being in his
mother's basement
* he will be encouraged to get out and meet more women
* his (presumed) religious beliefs will be ridiculed
* his (presumed) inability to create a competitive road-related web
site will be mocked
* he will be called a "redneck"
* he will be subject to an armchair psychological "analysis" which
will cast aspersions upon his parentage and upbringing
* personal details of his life will be ridiculed, such as his
employment, his income, and/or his place of residence
* his IP address will be banned from accessing Cal-El's web site
* he will be seated in a comfy chair and tickled with a feather

Trust me, you do NOT want to be on Cal-El's shit list! The OP should
quickly recant before The Wrath of Carl is felt upon his person!!
