I have an MD degree and five years of training after that, over 30 years of clinical practice, and 30 years of reading in the areas I have described. But I am quiet about it. My curriculum vitae is an my website; but I don't advertise it. Frankly, PZ doesn't know any more than I do in biology.

> Don't use him, use yourself, as I stated before.-Of course PZ isn't a giant... he's a small, fuzzy teddy bear. I wasn't referring to him (at least not alone,) but rather to the accumulated knowledge of humanity, (nearly?) all of which has been piled up by way of the scientific method in either formal or informal guise.-Bombastic? Yes. As I can be (thus my affinity for him.) So what? Again, tackle the content. Fuck the tone.-I have a great deal of respect for your study and your work, but if you were focused on the medical world, then in the realm of biology you are certainly NOT the equal of someone who has put in the same sort of time specializing in that specific arena!
