Yes. I honestly expect that. I honestly expect that from anyone who
purports to be an expert, or comes across with that attitude. You don't
get to be an "expert" by answering a lot of questions. You get to be an
"expert" by answering a lot of them *correctly* and keeping your mouth shut
when you don't know, unless you're about 90% certain. When you don't know,
you notice what other people have to say and assimilate it as your own
knowledge. Oh, and doing some reading on the side doesn't hurt either.
You don't really think I knew all this when I joined the list two years
ago, do you?

No, but you come across as trying to be one. While you might not claim to
be one, your attitude says otherwise. This post proves it.

No, the issue before was that you and Nick were posting every three seconds
about either 1) nothing or 2) questions that had been answered multiple
times, most of which would have been answered if you had both read the FAQ.
I will, albeit begrudgingly after this little tantrum, admit that you're
far better than you were last time. You have a long way to go, but you've
come a long way too.

That's b.s. and you know it, Deven. And if you're gonna throw out insults
on the list, at least spell my name right. There's no capital at the
beginning.
>was kicked off the list, people started fingering him and posting his email
"People?" No, that was Will. All Will.
