I don't know if you have noticed, but I have removed myself from this panel, because i feel that i'm not qualified to answer the questions,another reason i removed myself was because i am unable to understand why some experts insist on being rude and disrespectful to other experts, maybe it makes them feel good. I will continue to read all the questions and answers since this is one way for me to expand my mind. In closing i just say that a few and you know who you are, need to start asking questions instead of answering them. Good night and Thank You.

Good Morning Tom, This is a noble gesture, and in itself says much of your character. Which is not a surprise to me personally. Certainly, it is your choice and decision to make to 'remove' yourself as 'expert' from this panel. If indeed you feel within you that you are not comfortable answering questions, then it is correct to do so. If however, you are making this decision because of the response of some of the 'experts', then I implore you to reconsider. Please. None of us are 'all-knowing'. And no, being rude and disrepctful never makes one feel good. It is a defense mechanism...and a behavioral problem. We all have them. Until we admit to ourselves their existence and allow the will for change, we do not prosper our own self worth. We remain only a phantom of reality. And in this light, seldom do our moments truly perpetuate the compassion which is the ilk of human existence. Always, At your service Michael
