And about time too!
So the upshot of this is, there are no standards and people can do what they like as long as they don't crash (or should crashing be allowed as well now?)

Not smooth or accurate I'd have thought?
It's been a criticism of insistence on pull/push that it doesn't matter what method is used if the 'output' is consistently good.

You hope. Wait and see!

No, I'm afraid it was only me he was thinking about. If he'd had you in mind he wouldn't have put the word expert in quotation marks!!!

In America such is defined as somebody from out of town...
StressedDave wrote:Yes indeed...
However, I wasn't a self-appointed expert, but by dint of approval of fellow experts. Or in other words, I was such an expert that other experts would look at me and say "My god he's such an expert".
Not very convincing, is it?
I would now suggest after twenty years of doing this that I am an expert...
