Roy,
Your comments echo the same sentiments as in my first response in this
thread. The repect is mutual and our acquaintance goes back to our days
at Eli Lilly.
It is, however, silly or outright ridiculous to assume that writing in
detail about something that one is knowledgeable about will pose a challenge
to one's career and, use that assumption as the reason for one's approach
to responding to queries! As you said, there is enough space for all of us
and probably more. It is the individual's capabilities that differentiates
one from the other.
Further, the references to the awards is definitely sidetracking too.
I don't see any reason for disagreement here, Roy.
Best Regards,
Rajan.
