What is your expertise? Programming?

What matters in my case is the breadth and depth of my expertise spanning the technical, economic, political and legal aspects of issues.

Groklaw has embarrassed you in the past because they did the research that you should have done. In other words, they did your job.

A bold, baseless and grossly inaccurate claim. You don't provide an example because there isn't even one.

Groklaw itself is one shining example. Your comments *anywhere* are another. Together they are irrefutable evidence of PJ's integrity and your lack of same.

I suspect you know this, too, otherwise you wouldn't put so much effort into praising yourself and embarrassing yourself.

There is a blues song that goes "Dem dat know, know that they know... and dem dat don' know will they just don't know that they just don't know". You sir do not know. Opinions are cheap, everyone has one. Knowledge is expensive it takes time and effort.

People that know support their positions by citing knowledge.

People that do not know cite credentials.

This is a classic tactic in retoric. If facts won't support your position then cite expertise. It is the reason there is so much bad science is out there. "I must be right because I wear a white lab coat."

I don't mean to embarrass you but your credentials are showing. I just thought you should know.
