I cannot think of anything less important to me on the planet than whether or not you believe me.* We're all just type on a screen.* You and I have no more credibility than what a reader wants to believe.* If like the SARCA guy you write that the sky is blue I'm going to look up because I have no more reason to believe what you say than I do what the Douglas fir in our front yard says.

The good news is that it doesn't matter who believes what because there are no consequences to what's said unless one is fool enough to actually act on the advice one reads on the internet withuout getting a first or preferably a fifth opinon from people you personally know who know.* (I realize that's a confusing sentence but read it slowly several times and I bet you'll get it.)

Anyone who does what I say-- even if I know I'm right-- is an idiot if they don't check it first.* Same way I am if I do the same.
