Shame on you johnrecover(john Banks) for rating yourslef with fives. Take a look at his answers experts he got a five for the reply "well said" to one question. Where everyone else in the category who put in their time and effort were given fours. Another category he recieved a five "anonymously" where everyone else wasn't rated at all. For Shame for misrepresenting yourself. Top ten expert,self proclaimed! Shame on you, and the shame of it all is that some of your advice is valid and intelligent. Greed has corrupted you. Results have changed experts,I have rated him ones in the depression category

People! I am fairly new here, but, excuse me. Aren't we here to give advice to others in order to help THEM? The last couple of days I see bickering between the "experts".

I don't know how one would rate themselves....and I don't really care. And, when I rate someone else I try to be objective......fair. I really don't care if someone can rate themselves, or what they would rate their own answers. I care about giving the best response I can to those who really need the response.

Please, let's stop this bickering and remember that there are people that need us.....all of us. OK?

And, by the way.....why would we be listening to someone who is answering in the name of "Anonymous"? I thought that only experts were to answer questions. And if this person is an expert....why not use their appropriate moniker? Makes me a bit suspicious. However, maybe, me being new here, I don't know something.

But, again, why get caught up in this nonsense. I don't really care whether I am the top rated expert or not. I am here to help others, not myself. Oh, I like approval as much as anyone else, but what I am really here to do is to help others. Aren't we all??

Not an expert Will, only a member with a disdain for dishonesty and the ability to hackety hack, though the abuse is flagrant enough.
