411A is an interesting chap and of the "old school" in many of his views. Whether you do, or do not, like that aspect of his makeup is for you to decide.
He does, of course, have a keenly honed and skilled talent for engendering spirited discussion ..... however he is, so far as I have seen, not prone to falling to inappropriate posts in this forum.
All we ask is that posters to this forum retain a reasonable level of decorum .. there are alternative places to express more emotive views on life, death, and the universe ....
So far as 411A's post is concerned, it does not appear to be patronising (a personal view only - by all means stick to your contrary view) but echoes a view held by many in the Industry that knowledge standards have fallen dramatically over the past 20 years.
