An assumption that only a public school teacher would make. While I never
claimed to be an expert, the woman I'm married to has considerable depth on
the subject. By her early 30s she'd already earned four degrees; two
Bachelor's, two Master's, and is close to completing her Doctorate in
Educational Leadership (I believe it's called EdD instead of PhD). She's
taught in both public and private school, served in several administrative
roles, and is currently running a private school as principal. Studying
under her (so to speak) along with the many years spent in the public
school system before it was destroyed by the unions does, in my opinion,
make me qualified to comment.

But as one member was good enough to remind me of privately, this turn in
the conversation, while interesting to some, really has little to do with
boatanchor radio equipment. Experts are a dime a dozen. Many who make the
claim end up being nothing more than egomaniacs, crooks, or both. I prefer
to remain blissfully ignorant, all the while enjoying the entertainment
provided by certain radio experts.

BTW Dave, I think the word you were looking for in the 'expert' line of
your response was the contraction "you're", not the second person
possessive adjective "your". From the many corrections you've made to
others over the years, I know these things are important to you. (o:
