I'd admit to a certain level of personal bias and snappish mood when I wrote that reply, due in part to the fact the OP's name and style comes across as similar to somebody I had to deal with earlier, although I still lean, perhaps unfairly, that he is that same sort. Guys with very impressive (and frequently to the point of being absurd) resume/credentials who don't actually know shit about the work they need to do, then try to leech off others (esp colleagues) and pass off as their own work for credit. Usually, I'm more than happy to share what I know, especially since much of what I learnt are from the efforts of others, but when it comes to this sort who don't even bother to show the slightest effort, I like tripping them up :)
