<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silverbullion, post: 2134513, member: 57234&quot;]Mike, </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a difference between talking about different levels of expertise and to be snobbish about it by using phrases such as &quot;<i>vastly superior</i>&quot;. Just because we believe it is snobbish, doesn&#039;t mean that we&#039;re saying that &quot;<i>all forums are equal in every way</i>&quot; or deny that &quot;<i>there actually are differences, such as types of content, and levels of participants knowledge</i>&quot;. I got annoyed by this, because you&#039;re trying to attribute something to us that is simply not true.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The most intelligence people I&#039;ve met in my life are humble, willing to listen and willing to teach others. The moment someone uses language such as &quot;<i>vastly superior</i>&quot; the first thought that jumps to mind is &quot;a-hole alert&quot;. It reminds me of a guy called John from Wales that I met in England way back. He carried himself as someone with unmatched intelligence and treated the rest of us as if we were outright idiots. He annoyed the living daylights out of everybody. </p><p><br /></p><p>So one day I asked him before everybody present, because he loved that kind of attention, how does one spell the word &quot;<i>address</i>&quot;? I knew how to spell it, but wanted to test him. He couldn&#039;t spell it and made a royal ass out of himself. He learned that day to be humble and not to be snobbish about the knowledge he think he has. </p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
