ok lets go a step further and examine the use of words. if you are going to post for all to see your credentials and boast about how much training you have acquired then be prepared to authenticate your words. i mean if i was a master and i had gone through many years of training i would surely request a letter of certification. are not masters the same as teachers? if this is the case then they should be certified to pass on their knowledge to the student sub/slave. if there is no letter of certification then their words are hollow. now i have been told that a master/slave is validated on their reputation. this i do believe to be true. our reputation follows us no matter what city we call home.
