OP
Isn't this the second time you have asked a question like this of me regarding different industries?

Right. I was born in the morning, but not yesterday morning. That was not an innocent question.

Is this going to be a habit?

If I'm going to watch two people debate something, I want to know what their background is in that particular field, it's an innocent enough question.
You wouldn't tune in to watch Larry Bird debate Michael Jordan over the impacts of global warming, you would want respected researchers in that field. If it's just two partisan pundits going at it with talking points and little to no understanding of the terminology, ramifications and numbers, it's not going to really solve anything.

If you want my qualifications about anything, I have tons of material on the web. I'm google-able.
