I for one would like to see what peoples skills/qualifications are as well.
This would probably go a long way to understanding where people are coming from and how extensive their understanding is. I understand that Carl (renormalised) has completed a degree in Astronomy and I think is a geologist as well, therefore I tend to view his comments as coming from someone who has put in the hard yards and has extensive knowledge of what he is talking about.
I am not degrading anyones elses skills or knowledge, I would just like to know their level of understanding be it a degree etc or is it 20 or 30 years extensively reading about a subject.
That way I can then understand where other people are coming from as well. It would probably help to reduce arguments/heated debates as well as locked thread.
As for me, a Batchelor in Geology is my skill set but I haven't been in the field for over 20 years so I would say I'm very rusty. I would say I have an average understanding of Physics and Chemistry as well.
Cheers
