A real expert is usually more than happy to show you why it is that they're an expert.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like Clifton's been bamboozling idiots into giving him large paychecks, and he's scared his gravy train is being threatened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-43154639103917208952008-06-09T14:34:00.000-07:002008-06-09T14:34:00.000-07:00I used to respect the guy a little but that was so...I used to respect the guy a little but that was some crazy email. He jumps from one odd job to the next. That doesn't make him an expert in animal statistics which I believe was the main issue. Does he have a masters in statistics or research? It's starting to sound like anyone can just call themselves an "expert" with "years of experience." Anyone can make up lists of best and worst shelters and we're all just supposed to believe it. He is the one who made up the formula euth/1,000 residents which is no real measure at all to gauge all shelters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
