Hi Eugene Because of pressures of time, we can only read some of the posts that appear on Goanet and other sites. I therefore am forced to use my delete button rather a lot. However, there are some names that I will always read but it would be invidious to name them now. However, I bet most others do so too. Yours is one of them because I invariably find much good sense in what you say. Your paragraph below is a good example of what I also believe. We tend to respond quickly and invariably without any research that others think, rather erroneously, is needed on Goanet.
Let them believe what they wish. They seek something that is simply unavailable for lack of time. It is the general fund of knowledge and experience that helps one to respond---and especially when one feels resonably safe about a given topic. Indeed, JoeGoaUK could do a good analysis beyond the number of times people have responded on Goanet per month or whatever. He could note what topics tend to be addressed by different respondents. That evidence would confirm that our range inevitably tends to be small but reasonably well informed. It is also for this reason that I absolutely frown on those who suddenly raise points totally unrelated to issues on the table for discussion. In this post, you have indeed been responding to one who does this habitually.
