It is interesting that instead of disagreeing with Eric's comments and
explaining why, the general response has been to criticise his imagined work
status.

Nothing I have seen in this thread seems to relate to his job and he has not
claimed professional authority based on his employment so what, on Earth,
does his job matter?

Unless this really is a pathetic attempt to "one up" on someone you think is
in a lower paid / less "exalted" job. If it is, you really should be ashamed
of yourselves.

It's Ok, I am sure you aren't an idiot. If you had posted something
meaningful we may have been able to verify that.

Never mind.

And Nazis and other anti-semites. Maybe that's why the stuffed
donkey doesn't like Mel Brooks. The humor hits too close to home.
