ubitiq: “I am looking for other databases besides Profnet.com..Anyone aware of others?”
belinda: “Forget ‘experts’ Web sites. People pay to be listed as experts on them. It is a form of p.r./promotion.”
Stressed: “I often look up books on the subject matter on Amazon and pick out a recent one one that has been written by some university academic with a string of letters after their name.”
