    If anyone is interested in getting over such arrogance, one 
worthwhile way to do it is to consider how 'they' might *get a notion 
of what a root server system is. Wont it be just the same way 
everyone who does did, by talking with and working with some 
techynerd who talked and worked in ways they could understand? 
 Which is a convoluted way to say, when youre talking and working 
'technical' stuff, do it in ways that someone who doesnt already 
understand *can understand.  We dont need more ways to say 
'one who knows what they are doing' -- but if 'techynerd' means 
'one who thinks they know but cant be bothered to explain it or 
teach it in a sensible way in order to find out,'  isnt that covered by 
'ignoramus'?

 kerry, trying to understand
