I did not "question his credentials" I inquired as to what they were. 
he calls himself an engineer and I asked for verifiaction.  If that is
not fair then say so.  It does appear that Mr. Paul is a registerd
engineer.  That may make him qualifieds to construct dams or ather
structures but does not necessarily mean that his views as to what
californias water policy should be.  I did not demean him or suggest
that he did not have credentials, but did state that I had not seen his
name on any of the major dams in California.  I know the law regardin
engineering and construction in this state as well as you do sir.
