#52 + #53 May I be so crude as to ask, what makes you feel that you are the "Expert" in this thread that gives you the authority and expertise to critcize everyone? Please tell us where your knowledge base comes from. Is it success?

Yah, I'd say some success. Also, a pretty thorough knowledge of history. Some, from research of the 12 or so books I've published, most recently, "The Entrepreneurial Adventure: A History of Business in the United States" (Harcourt, 2000). Oh, also I was a rock drummer whose band opened for the James Gang, Steppenwolf, Savoy Brown, Mother's Finest, and who played the Troubadeaur with the Who in attendance and was the guest of the Allman Bros. at their Cincy concert. That's my main qualification :)
