Actually, you didn't "laugh to yourself," you laughed to the list. Will
the person thus ridiculed continue to contribute? While the rest of your
message is useful (at least I found it interesting), I bet I wasn't the
only one found it diminished by the sneer.
You laugh at the "expert" giving "advise" [sic] to " experienced
practioners." Which wasn't the context or intent. But, anyway, if we were
all "experienced practitioners" in everything, why would we be here?
Just to flaunt our expertise?
