Thank you, gentlemen, for the refreshing exchange. That said, Michael, I can understand P.G.'s ire as I feel the same. I've been writing here well over two years and the number of fakers whose arrogance trumps their abilities has multiplied and continues to do so. Much like the criminal in the White House.

Obviously, you do not fall into that category.

For those of us who put our hearts and souls into our work, this is disturbing. Yes, I write here because I love it, but this is also work, and to see the newbies sans talent rake in the big bucks is infuriating.

The braggarts are the worse. The blowhards who trumpet their success while telling the rest of us schlubs how we can achieve the same results.

That's my humble opinion and I will continue to call out "bullshit" when I see it. But I deeply appreciate your well thought out response.
