I guess Ive been reading too many of Roger's posts and his constant
self promotion and attempts at building credibility.

You really think that, if I was concerned about credibility, I would let my
participation in this circus be recorded on servers all over the world?


Why not, can't hurt your credibility *if* your statements are
credible.


.... You think
hiding behind the Internet anonymously and just making cranky negative
replies to other's posts is less obnoxious?


Obnoxious is in the eye of the beholder. Wilber/Greg/KneelŪ and the
army of flonking sock puppets think that discussion forums on the
internet are for their entertainment... come to think of it, a couple
of other people have that attitude.... and they are threatened by the
thought that there really are people who have knowledge, skills,
experience... a real life. They prefer to believe that made-up BS is
just as good as anything reality has to offer.

This is why some regular & semi-regular posters here are special
targets for abuse by Wilber et al. In fact I think Skip bugs him/them/
it the most, because despite not being an expert, Skip escaped the
pull of internet non-reality and WENT a-cruising.... and Wilber/Greg/
KneelŪ knows that he/she/it never will.

It does remind me of a joke from my flying days though:

Q. How do you tell who the private pilots are at a party?

A. You don't. They tell you.


And the loudmouth wanna-bees also tell you... indirectly but
irrefutably.... and it ****es them off that you know when they're
