Ok, tread creep it is. I posted SOME of my credentials to put perspective on the question. I thought it might matter as related to the question. For instance I also hold a 100 ton license. That does make a difference if I were ever to be in an accident vs. before I was licensed. I knew the surveyor bit would get heavy fire, as I see it come up all the time. I dont even get involved with the defense of survey bashing mostly. boatpoker must have learned this long ago. I agree mostly with everyone's comments about credentials. I had the experience and became tired of dealing with people that knew less, etc. In those situations, at a professional and legal level, credentials make the difference. I am sure there are alot of people here with more experience in a lot of things than me. Fine, not the point. The clueless idiots is a general statement, alot of which has to do with a different forum. Notice I did not post this thread there, as I feel this group is better.
Thank you to the people that have intelligently tried to help with my concern.
