Hello, I think that is really hard to show the relation of smart/not smart people and certain forms of using the internet. I believe that it is rather a generational gap. This is how it works with young folks: -I don't drive my grandfathers car and also I don't use usenet -I don't wear my fathers clothes and I don't use wikitext -I listen to the newest music and I use nice AJAX interfaces. Because as all my friends do. And unrelated to all this, I can still be either smart or dumb.
