I am starting to be sorry I ever decided to ask such "stupid
questions".   But to dismiss any and all critics as not being
developers and thus don't count, to be incredibly arrogant (something
I would have done a few decades ago).   It is often best to assume
absolutely nothing about the person's skills until proven otherwise.
I get the feeling I didn't get a similar answer is I showed beyond all
doubt your claims about my background were unfounded.
