edwest2: Excellent post #121. I, too, have no college degree, but in hindsight realise I was fortunate to be trained in the British Government department that I worked in as an 'Internal Investigator' (the Gov Department paid out State benefits, so was open to staff commiting internal fraud). The investigative training went way beyond the training the Police receive, and that helped greatly (I believe) with my research. The Rudyard Kipling short rhyme guided everything we did, and worked equally as well with all of my research:
I KEEP SIX HONEST SERVING MEN
THEY TAUGHT ME ALL I KNEW
THEIR NAMES ARE: WHAT AND WHY AND WHEN
AND HOW AND WHERE AND WHO
The above should be the metric by which all research is founded upon. From my reading over the decades, sadly that has not always been the case.

Adriano: I am not an 'expert'. I am someone who started on a path of trying to find information on a particular topic, and it grew and grew from there. What I did, and eventually achieved, could have been done by anyone else. That's all.
