Wikipedia "ad hominem argument":
"An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject."

You've raised not a single technical issue of merit. Instead, you've attacked my education, my experience, my mentors and the universities that granted my degrees. I apologize if my technical writing is not clear -- I am not trained in that area and I'm doing the best I can.

When/if you are ready to address new, substantive technical issues, I will respectfully and thoughtfully reply.
