No... It doesn't - After 22 years down the back I'm eminently qualified to make the argument. Of course I can take a joke, I'd never have made it this far otherwise.
The point made was coherent and apposite - the last two posts are not.
My user name is appropriate for an internet forum (supposedly) involving air crew: I will amend my profile details to allow for those who believe everything they read.
I may choose to take a dislike to other professions (consultants, for example), but I refrain from abusing them for in public, and expect the same courtesy in return.
Now... Anyone care to add to this thread regarding the original post?
