I appreciate comments here, all commendable in tone and content except for the note on slander which I accept as cautionary in intent and not to diminish fair comment. But the sentence most poignant to my way of thinking is ". . . a 'smith lacking in what we consider basic knowledge on this BBS is worrisome to me." Me, too. And there's nothing slanderous in what others think of another's opinion of professionalism and competence.
