It,s interesting how some people enjoy sharing their Knowledge & Experience with people?
While some people keep their Knowledge & Experience to themselves only to criticize & try to make other people appear inferior? Or will sell the information for financial gain?
The moral of the story is, "You Do not make yourself look good By making others look bad!" & Sharing is better then Greed!
Enjoy,

You don't work in sales or PR by chance, do you? ;-)
Eric I'm just going to say this and this only:
Often you have really valuable input.
More often you attach to that valuable input snide remarks that belittle others for no reason. I guess you must have emerged from the womb complete in all your knowledge. How else would you have learned, based on that second paragraph?
Until presented with evidence to the contrary, we all hold our ideas about certain things as true. All the research at one time pointed to a flat Earth. Then someone thought differently and tested the theory. But you know what? That person then had to convince THE WORLD that their previously held truisms were false. I suppose, had you been in that explorer's place, you would have gone back to port and not told anyone about it. Because after all, they had "half wit" ideas about what you knew to be inaccurate so there was "no reason to even try with them".
I think someone looking for help, with inaccurate ideas in tow, warrants understanding supported with the scientific data to support the new idea. I respect your understanding of things that I don't. But, I for one, am tired of hearing you shoot off your mouth about how everyone should know this or that. You're just unkind. My filter works, too! So, consider this; if the majority of the list begins to filter your posts, who's reading them? Prolly just yourself. So, happy reading.
Later,
