Isnt this why we have learned societies such as ASME, I Mech E, IE Aust, etc. These bodies have requirements to meet in regard to one's education, professional standing, continual professional development. Perhaps we should encourage our forum memebers to put their names in and add their post numerals.

&gt;while your web site is excellent, the current state of play with search<BR>
&gt;engines means that, in my opinion, it is far quicker to ask someone a<BR>
&gt;question.<BR>

It's a little more dangerous and less comprehensive too. The great thing about the web is that you can find pros and cons on everything. When you ask the guy in the next cube, you may get precisely the right answer or you may get a long-cherished opinion that's completely wrong. The term CW actually has a two-fold meaning: Conventional Wisdom and Completely Wrong. Of course you get a lot of CW on the web, too, but you have a much wider selection, which gives balance. And every now and then you come across a trove like PipingDesign or the NACA Report archive that's like having your own personal library. 
 

Which is not to say that I don't ask around for opinions, just that I tend to be a little careful about verification. One of my professional nightmares is finding myself on the witness stand forced to explain to opposing counsel that the foundation for my testimony is not some learned treatise but an e-mail from someone I never actually met or an opinion from the guy in the next office.
