I mean no offense Art, and I realize your request is sincere, but FWIW as a
general post to friend and foe alike;

It's just a fact of life as an unfortunate circumstance of posting on RAM
that the listing of specific experience serves no constructive purpose
whatsoever. Actually, this is true of Usenet in general, but specifically
on RAM!
First of all, the anonymity of Usenet dictates that even a post from the
President of the United States might very well be from a sixty five year old
Cajon woman with a wart on her ass sitting at a computer console in a shack
along the Mississippi :-) Then after you get through that scenario, you have
to accept the fact that even if you have an image of the poster, that image
could be of someone else.
Then, after all this has been solved, and assuming the poster is authentic,
the posting of specific experience and qualifications can only be verified
by the addition of peripheral personal information that a legitimate poster
might not wish to release.
In my case, I use my own name. There is literally ton of information on me
both in printed media and on the net available to anyone bored enough with
their lives to want to dig it up :-) The listing of my quals and experience
will impress no one who already knows me, and will only invite hostile posts
from those who don't know me, and I no longer wish to deal with this on
Usenet.

My sentiments exactly, Dudley, however, ironic as hell that you're
responding to Kramer, whom as we all know was guilty of behaving
exactly like that "Cajon woman with a wart on her ass" that you so
aptly described above (e.g: his "Autocollimator" alter ego).
