This topic reminds me of an old, all too familiar saying that my dad told me a long time ago as a boy, you all have heard it, remember; "Talk is cheap..actions speaks louder than words." Often times, and more so than not..some people talk the talk and brag, but can't deliver. You can almost always seperate the fakes from the real deal in people instantly. When you ask them to validate a claim or assertion...they always fold. This is what has made me a good detective over the years. God knows I'm not an expert, I learn new stuff everyday. Heck, I just got "dupped" 6 year-old the other day!, LOL! However my actions, based on experience and a working knowlegde of whatever I'm doing, only makes me professional. As someone has already eluded...a true "professional", "expert" or whatever- is almost always slow to speak, has no desire to be right or have the last word, he is humble and quietely content in his or her own knowlegde. True professionals only offer strong, feverent opinions only when asked, but most improtantly, they can always back it up with working facts, based on experience-not fluff. You've heard them before..they're the ones doing most of the talking. MikeV as well as others here on this forum are the real deal in my humble opinion.
