No Odell, it doesn't, but it *does* connote some authority in this field. Calling Bob a 'quack' because he disagrees with you makes *you* appear silly. My posting of accomplishments was intended to beg the question "Which of you is the greater authority in this matter?" Obviously it's not you. While I may disagree with Bob on certain things, I would never call him a 'quack'. It's insulting and disrespectful, and coming from somebody with so few accomplishments in this field as yourself, it's absolutely silly as well.
