Steve Shaw says: We prefer to hide our lights under bushels, Ron

Bullshit!!!

Which is why I said nothing for a long, long time. I do what I do, because I enjoy it - not because I'm looking for any praise, and not because I'm looking for any sort of repayment in this life or the next.

But somebody asked what I do, so I told them - and I was afraid some bastard would throw that "lights under bushels" shit at me.

So, Steve, take that and your accusations of my twisting your words (when I was very careful not to), and "shove it where the sun don't shine," as they say.

Very defensive, Joe. Call it bullshit but by so doing you're calling your Lord a bullshitter. What he said was what I said. So somebody asked you what you did so you told 'em. Well, you didn't have to, but you did, loud, clear - and at length. The light-under-bushels, as well you know, is not shit. It is a very well-founded notion, preaching as it does humility. You can make your point without giving out your credentials, simultaneously losing dignity as you do it. I had to do that on another thread when some lunatic questioned my science credentials, so I'm not innocent, but, unlike you it seems, at least I know what I did. And please don't forget, in your ire, that my post was a response primarily to Ron's usual stupidity. As they say, keep calm and carry on. Hope this helps.
