Don't tell me you didn't understand what he meant sealey, i know for a fact
on afb you used to get uppity by just being called sealey, unless you've
changed. ;)

So for that matter given that qualifications aren't a necessary thing to say
'yeah i'm qualified' etc., letters don't mean 'dick' to you and all that,
it's what you really know isn't it, that's what counts as far as you are
concerned.
So for that matter I'm sure you'd be quite happy if such a occurence occured,
to have heart surgery by a surgeon who had no paper documents to say he's
qualified but you'd still let them go ahead because 'it's what they know'.
Likewise i'm sure you wouldn't mind having a organ transplant by someone who
knows what they're doing, but hasn't got papers to say they can.... ;)
