In many ways I prefer not having too many “experts” as forum participants. This allows us, the forum participants the freedom to explore and express our points of view, without the idea that the published “expert” will overly critique our varying experiences, skills, techniques and philosophies.
While I do value their point of view, I do not necessarily placed any special or additional value over that of any other forum participant who has explored, tested and refined their equipment, skills and techniques and can communicate to the rest of the forum their ideas. Pete
