Well, I surely didn't mean to open this can o' worms
To any who felt miffed by my expression I sincerely apologise.
I was simply using it as a platform to suggest that the continual criticism of our sponsor by one contributor was indicative of likely shortcomings in his own abilities.
In response to Humphrey, Rob, David, GWB, DGF and Barry:
You guys have successfully shown that we all have had different experiences. For myself, I received my industry training with a major telecommunications carrier as an apprentice. This carrier had its own training schools and the instructors were drawn from the technical workforce.
Interestingly, by far the best teachers were those who were not so good at the practical side but whose theoretical knowledge was incomparable. Thus my own experience paralleled my quote.
For myself, I feel that I am quite competent in my field, but as my staff will happily tell you, despite my own opinions I appear not to be the greatest teacher. Thus I also meet the criteria of my quote: I can, and I do, but I cannot teach.
Again, I apologise if I have offended anyone. That was not my intent.
