Hi Ken,

Well, here it is early now, so why am I still tired?  - oldness -

Unfortunately, the public is in the same position I'm in when I am shopping
for a product or service. It ultimately comes down to a crap shoot (no
matter how much Net or Social surfing you do in preparation). I can't
remember how many times I've had to finish or re-do a job I hired a highly
recommended professional carpenter, plummer or heating/cooling contractor to
do. That's not being unnecessarily picky either, that's just for the minimal
function I paid for and didn't get. That shouldn't happen at all, but it
does, and far too often. Credentials don't often indicate capabilities, and
what the supplier thinks he's selling (service or goods), and the buyer
thinks he's buying, are seldom the same thing. You are probably better at
some aspects of this business than I am, and I am probably better at others
than you, but by professional designaton, we're interchangable and there's
no way around that as long as there is a professional designation.


As for being classically trained, I don't think I'm trainable. Heck, I'm
barely housebroken, but end runs come in all sorts of flavors. Now what do I
do with all these questions? <G>
