Certain terms irk me; newbie, genealogist, professional genealogist. The
errors made by so called newbies pale in comparison to those made by self
proclaimed genealogists and paid professional genealogists.

Get off your high horses, do your research in the manner that befits you and
don't worry about the other guy. After all, if you are proving your research
it does not matter if the other guy did or did not!

This is the ranting of an old man who is getting mellow as he ages (like
fine malt whiskey).
