Wow... I have seen a few that meet your description. Most others have =

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.
