>you end up with a forum where everybody thinks they need to know what they're talking about before saying it.

Hmmmmmmmm.
I'm pretty sure that doesn't apply to me. Sometimes I shoot from the lip, but more often I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't know what I'm talking about. I never let the lack of knowledge about a subject keep me from explaining it.

On the other hand, I've been posting here since before the turn of the century, and I've always been impressed by the intelligence of the other posters. And they must be nice. After all they have put up with me for a long time.

And did you know that most of the people on here speak more than one language? That is a sign of intelligence. For example, they speak English, French, Flemish, German, Computer, Math, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Polish, Russian, Puerto Rican, and British. I'm still working on English.

So there. We need a little foolishness along with all of this intelligence.
How"but seriously"ard
