Sorry, Julie! I'm sure I saw it, and then... Life happens.

IABoy,
As I read through, it seems the credentials are (1) he has the same issues we do, so is writing from being here; (2) He's a counselor. While I'd rather an engineer be recognized, too, I'm not so sure we've gone the right way with our emphasis on certificates for everything. Which is better: the engineer who has never turned a wrench, or the mechanic with 30 years of makeshift repairs behind him? :-)
I think we here generally fall into that latter category; even Lotus, our research guru, is more the second category, who has decided to get the engineering certificates. ;-)
Most of the books are on the site for free, too, just a few pages so far have been password protected - mostly on the "fusion" pages, unfortunately. Since they're in the books, I was willing to make the trade.
If it works, it was money well spent. If not, it wasn't that much. :-)
And we generally don't think in terms of controlling her as much, so there's that different angle I wanted to consider. Far cheaper, might help get the rest of the house in order.
