Hi,
It is sometimes weird that companies that have benefited so much from sas/l has barred its employees from participating in it.

Daniel, Art, Mike, Peter, Ron, Alan, Murphy, Jack, Nat, et all,
Excellent points made by all. SAS/L has a wealth of experience from a
broad variety of users from novices/newbies to probably a few who've
used SAS since it's the birth itself.
Length of use, as Nat illustrated, is not the sole gauge of knowledge.
Someone may have 35+ years of experience of Base SAS only on the
mainframe. Another may have 5 years of experience with a dozen SAS
products on muyltiple platforms. The Base SAS person, while not
having a variety of SAS product esperience, may not have had the
opportunity to use other SAS products due to the nature of his/her
job. This does not diminish this person's value of using this tool to
get the job done. Likewise, the person with a variety of SAS product
experience or a variety of work environment/indutry experiences has
different things to contribute.
The bottom line is that we all bring to the table our experiences both
good and bad and we are willing to share and learn.
Regarding obfuscating ones identity on SAS/L, unfortunately, there are
companies that view SAS/L, sascommunity, etc. the same as social
forums. As such, participation on such is strictly forbidden and if
discovered subject to immediate dismisal.
Just my 2 cents.
