>Do I have a choice when some people are reluctant to give some very basic info about themselves? I WILL continue this practice, until these people speak up and tell me I'm wrong.

Okay - you're wrong! That's just in general, as well as on behalf of everyone you have slandered, and on behalf of everyone who tries to use this forum to learn and share ideas, views and information.

>If a person refuses to tell vital info about himself, I will assume the least favourable probable version for that person. To state an example: since PaulB never said he was a doctor, I assume he is merely a student. I can't say that PaulB has nothing to do with medicine WHATSOEVER, because he obviously knows some medical stuff.

Really now - you don't have to say he's a physician, you can even question his credentials (and of course over this medium, the only proof is the quality of what we share), but to assert things as fact without any basis is at best obnoxious. You are like the man in the parable who follows after the farmer and spreads weed seeds in the field the farmer has just sown.
