Jan, you left out an important bit of context. I was replying to you
saying "What? Unwilling to comment on something you don't understand?"
And you edited out the first sentence of my reply, "Yes, although I know
you would disagree."
To be clearer; yes, I am unwilling to comment on something I don't
believe that I understand. And to further spell it out for you, it thus
follows that I believe that I was qualified to comment on those things
upon which I commented. And I offered some of my resume so support my
right to comment. If you disagree with what I said, and/or my
qualifications to say it, direct disagreement, possibly with some
reasons would be preferable to me to to insinuation and indirect attack.

I do no do so..It is, however, hard to tell in this context, as I don't
hear anyone disagreeing in any constructive way, only snide comments
that do nothing to address the substance of the topic that was at hand.
Provide counter fact and argument and I will take it seriously and
respond in context without asking for any resume.

Another attack out of the blue without any reference to anything? Please
point out where I said or implied that I am always right. I am sure I've
apologized for error and corrected it on other topics here several times
recently. If no one else speaks, they leave the one who spoke to define
the truth.
And no, thank you, my life is anything but boring.
As I said in another post, I will refrain from any future comments on
your bag 'o quotes.
