He has a voice, he has an opinion. Why should he be disqualified from stating it? The last time I looked Usenet was a free speech forum, one of the last in existence.

Eric Stevens
My goodness, you are getting grumpy.

The fact that he is entitled to voice an opinion does not make him qualified to do so.

You should be aware the Sandman has several times said things to people like "you are not qulified to discuss this. Please step out of the argument".

Sandman
What, no Message-ID, Eric? Yet another claim from you that you will never ever substantiate. No surprise there.

Eric Stevens
In this case he hasn't got the background or the training to understand the subject, let alone voice an informed opinion. To make matters worse, in spite of the evidence to the contrary, he denies that the subject has any relevance to imaging or image processing. Would you take advice on the workings of a GPS unit from someone who was an avowed believer in a flat earth?

Sandman
It is clear from everything that I've said that I am way more qualified to discuss this subject than both you and Floyd, Eric. The fact that you don't understand that just proves the point.

Eric Stevens
Your bluster and bullying doesn't qualify you as an expert in anything.

Your knowledge of basic photography is generally accepted.

But you have given no indication of any kind that you are equipped to understand what is meant by a 'reversible process' or the application of the concept of entropy to any field of knowledge.

I've given my qualifications to talk about these things. Now it's up to you.
