This is a bit of a reach / drawing a long bow / skating on
thin ice / reading between the lines / jumping to
conclusions / damning with faint praise / .... BUT such
overblown prose can be an indicator of bombasity, ignorance,
assumed self importance etc. It also may be that it is just
an extremely pleasant and personable soul who are out of
their depth and not well enough supported in an area which
they are not expert in. It may well be that they are very
capable and competent in other areas and have been unfairly
thrust into the PICList limelight by circumstance. But, if
tempted by such an ad, I'd be wary of what was behind the
words.
