Wow... I have seen a few that meet your description. Most others have been pretty normal looking. One in the store closest to my house is a normal looking gray haired guy just like me. He knows his stuff, and that is why I like home. Some of those "weird looking" ones in the stores near me have demonstrated that they know their stuff, I like them too. Some of the normal looking are full of wrong answers & bad info, and I found it aggravating to listen them giving technically inaccurate answers. Now your comment answers a question that I kept to myself until now... "I wonder how much dressing like that hurts their credibility?". In the end, I want technically correct and complete answers. If I get that from them, how they dress makes no difference to me. If they are giving out bad info, I don't care how "normal" they appear, the info is still wrong. Independent of appearance, they are not all created equal. I have encountered some unimpressive "Geniuses" (misnomers in those cases), but most have been very good at providing first rate tech support. As someone who has made a career of providing advanced tech support, I am in a position to judge good from bad. Now wouldn't it be nice if we got back to Lancair related discussions, and strive to stick to technically accurate facts. I know that I devote time in things like LML, to learn. When misinformation, and irrelevant opinionated comments are being posted, it wastes our time, and in some cases leads us in unproductive directions.

But it is not really clear, as you look at the "Geniuses."
