EXDAC, I think this is probably where we differ, I have no expectations about any of my posts, except that the content may be read, analysed, researched, and commented on, hopefully constructively. Whether they are accepted or not, should be content dependent, not on unsubstantiated claims of personal qualifications or experience.
But, thanks for your comment, while I won't change my profile I may add a little about any involvement I have had in any particular area of comment, if I see it as important to the conversation.
I agree with PEI_3721 on the value of claims, or lack of, made in the personal profiles.
