Unfortunately for you, a resume like that doesn't count for crap around here. Fat-asses who sit in front of their computers all day obviously know FAR more than you do about your life's pursuit...I mean, after all, they can just look it up on the Innterrrnet and become instant experts. I know, because after 30 years of working in aviation, I was flamed on an aviation-related thread as having a "thin resume" and generally not knowing anything about it. I'm convinced the majority of the Freepers anymore are snotty teens and young adults who don't have squat for life experience, but know everything about everything because they can just look it up on the Innterrrnet.

FWIW, I agree with you completely. My breed of choice is German Shepherds; I have had several throughout my life including some that came from rescue shelters with pretty rough backgrounds. They are incredibly intelligent and caring animals (not to mention beautiful) but I have been unfairly criticized by neighbors and family in the past for keeping "attack" dogs. I guess some folks are just not dog people and will always fear what they don't understand. Too bad, they're missing alot of fulfillment in their lives.

Good post. Without Google, many here wouldn't know what to say about anything. With Google, they think they can argue any point.

It's almost comical getting into heated discussion with some, when I know the gaps between their posts are filled with Googling the subject so they can reply with a "knowing" retort.

The German Shepard is the prince of dogs.

Sadly, like my custom made Kimber .45, they too, sometimes fall into the hands of idiots and then we get all this hysteria.
