     And now we have come full circle.  The original discussion concerned
unqualified individuals telling qualified individuals what they should be
doing.  The general consensus among those being told was that those doing
the telling should shut up and get to work and prove us wrong.

	opinion doesn't mean you're constitutionally entitled to a 
	professional opinion.
