Yeah, agreed.
I definitely think all this aggressive questioning of people's credentials is a bit beyond the pale. For one thing, that stuff is usually so far off target it's laughable. And for another thing, there's no good reason to belittle people who are hobbyists; some of those hobbyists are better engineers that some of the pros here, frankly, as you can rapidly find out by clicking on people's websites and so on.
I think this forum would make a big step forward in general if people remembered it's a sonar user's forum, whoever those users might be, from studio owners to bedroom guitar players. It's not here so people can swing their dicks around about who and what is PRO.
