May I also add that I hope you will stay on RT. You have done absolutely
nothing to reproach yourself. I am sure when America wakes up today
(Monday) you will have other private and public suggestions that you stay
and go on contributing.
Doctor, Professor or any other title does not make the person necessarily
more knowledgeable than you. As long as you have done your research,
checked it out, if necessary, with someone whom you know to have the
expertise on the subject, then go ahead and do your own thing.
With most matters of law, all you have to do is ask for the statute or order
which provides for or against your case. Opinions - rather like those on
where the market is going - are more or less worthless, without concrete
supporting evidence. You have obviously had that, so don't worry about what
people think about you on this list. And certainly don't leave on account
of them.
It takes all sorts...
