No offence was taken, by me at any rate.

You seemed to me to be bragging enough about your knowledge of 
physics that the "Humble" in "In My Humble Opinion" seemed a tad 
ironic, so I couldn't resist twitting you on it.

But I should have resisted. It really amounted to nothing more than a 
cheap shot and I apologize, especially as I know from personal 
experience how tough graduate programs in the sciences (or I am sure 
in any field) are.

As for the rest of your message, that will have to wait for later.
