I wasn't implying he did. You implied that he's well-appreciated in MS 
circles. I'm saying that doesn't necessarily mean a whole heck of a lot.

"I took a class" isn't anything at all. It's negligable, near-zero. Both 
of us have real-world experience that absolutely dwarfs "I took a class".

And, no, I'm *not* saying "You're wrong *because* the credentials are 
meaningless." I'm saying "You're wrong, *and* meaningless credentials 
are meaningless."
