Hi John, I am glad to see you back. I hope you share your wealth of knowledge with the community here on the UT. You know how much I respect you in that regard.

However, IMHO:

[ SNIPPED ]

>Has committed far more seroius transgressions than I and;


I agree.


>2. Has not contributed a single thing by way of scholarship to the community.


I disagree on this one John. He has contributed in many threads here are just a few:

826754
925030
477984
925881
925036

Now if you were referring specifically to 'scholarship' value to the community then I cannot answer that. Only the UT members he has helped can answer that one. And whether or not he has demonstrated profound scholarly knowledge or has achieved a scholarly attainment I cannot answer to either. I guess though that if that is the pre-requisite then I should not be wasting everyone's time on the UT myself by contributing when I can and should limit myself to strictly posting questions when I need assistance and never attempt to 'pay back' the community.
