LOL, I know what you mean. The simple fact of the matter is that no more than 50% of the people out there doing anything are actually competent, personally I think its more like 20% (the 80-20 principal), but I try to be optimistic. I personally don't hang out with locksmiths much either, most of the ones I've met are imbeciles, there's only two or three I'd send my customers to.
I still find it amazing that with the Dogz, we have managed to find such a diverse group of people that seem to have a higher than average IQ. Or is it that I like to think that people I like must be smarter than average? Naaaaah, Dogz are just smart.
