Thanks for letting me comment and clarify.

Keep up the good work.

The trouble is there are many, many people who don’t.

Just two quick examples…

One well-known guru claims to have a PhD which he bought from a non-accredited online “university.” He now dispenses advice under the auspices of being a “Dr.” He never says what kind of “doctor” he is, but he puts the initials before his name nevertheless.

Harmless? Not in my book, nor in the eye of some of those who gave his word extra weight because of his “credentials” and suffered as a result.

There was a recent discussion in the WarriorForum about a guy who played with fast and loose with facts surrounding an Internet radio show that went out of business a year of so ago. Many, many people were furious at him, yet he apparently felt justified in inflating numbers and inventing stats in order to make the show a success.

Yes, he recognizes his mistake now, after the fact. But in the heat of the moment, this philosophy can cause one to make some very bad errors in judgment.

BTW, I have no problem with the FeedBurner example. I DID recognize it as a joke, but as we’ve seen from other people’s comments, not everyone does. This is just another example of how slippery this mindset can be.

Not trying to be combative - just trying to point out an important warning that is too often overlooked.
