With so much to do how do you find the time to be here so often?

It's not THAT much to do ! Besides, too much work and no play makes one
a dull boy.

Usenet is an exceptionally valuable resource IMHO. I have occasionally
received invaluable design advice in sci.electronics.design for example
where I am a regular contributor too.

Too much play & not enough work it sounds like to me ;-)

You do seem to appear on rather a lot of newsgroups, the subjects of
which you're always an expert. :-)

Can't help being an expert on certain matters my friend. My official job
title is electronics consultant.

Mind you, even a little *sound* scientific knowledge makes anyone an 'expert'
compared to the mass of k00ks posting on Usenet.

I am not picking a fight, as I don't know how it is in the commercial
electronics world, but in IT, anyone that calls themself a "consultant"
is normally far from expert.

Indeed. In the IT industry a "consultant" is someone whose job it is to
find the relevant expert.

Apart from in Medicine, "consultant" is pretty meaningless since it
has been hijacked by anyone with any qualifications who sets up in
business as a person people should ask advice from. There's no
guarantee of status or even competence - strictly caveat emptor.

For that reason it's much more important to have academic
qualifications and memberships of professional bodies. You can't argue
with those.

Again, you clearly don't work in IT Andy :-)
