      Hmm, yes, the little additives there definitely make a difference. Respect as an authority in any matter certainly has to be earned, for sure.

      I didn’t mean, either, for it to seem I was taking umbrage with this particular post or statement. It is just a thought I have whenever I see that old adage, “respect must be earned.” It’s thrown around a lot, and it has never sat right with me.
