On a message board, all you've got to go by when dishing out respect is what folks are putting out there in words.
Personally, that's the way I like it.
That's the way I do it in 'real life.'
I really don't care what a person has 'accomplished' at work or in their life otherwise.
It's how you think and what you feel that earn my respect.
