Using this as an example...
Someone has a heart attack and is in an accident, bleeding badly....
A good sumaritan shows up and says, "Everything is going to be alright, I'm a Doctor"
We think... everything is going to be OK
The Doctor gets down on his knees (we all know he is going to examine the patient)
Then the doctor puts his hands up, looks skyward and says , "Let us Pray!"
OMG.... at least it is better a preacher than a university professor with a doctorate.... unless the professor has had CPR and a first aid class.
I absolutely think that it is important to know what a persons credentials and experiences are are before I waste time and money chasing their titles, opinions and egos.
In the scenairo above If I was praying it would be for a paramedic and EMT to get there quick while I did the best I could to stop the bleeding. I had a CPR class a long time ago.... I don't remember a word of it or how to do it.
NOTE: All military veterans from my time had the GI Bill for education.... I was in the active duty service for 4 years... yes, I used all 4 years of my GI Bill college education... no appologies offered or expected... it was a wonderful program and it helped me to provide for my family and to continue helping my country.
Wayne, and all of you other veterans, thank you for your military service.
And I hope that we never have another day like 9/11/01

I would not let some Joe Blow walk up to my rig and start doing things to it. Of course I'd want to know what his credentials are, etc.
But we're talking about an Internet forum here. I post a question, people offer suggestions. Some are good, some are bad. I pick and choose between them or I toss them all out and look for an answer elsewhere. It's not a life or death situation - it's not someone performing work on your rig - it's simply people offering suggestions, options, opinions.
