Nah, its like a tough class. The ones who have to be the best out of the gate don't make it. The ones who are willing to hang on, learn something, and contribute when they have something positive to contribute get nothing but love.

Bumdeal was a dipshit when he started posting here, but he's a top 10 in my book.

Guys who have to be right even when they're not are always going to make themselves look stupid.

Maybe I come off as if I have a god complex or that I'm a know-it-all, but its only because I came here after I learned the majority of what I already know. When I started off, I learned everything from scratch, by LISTENING to the people who knew more than me. And those people were ALWAYS assholes, who were trying to pass off misinformation, because they didn't want to give up their ricebowl. But I stuck with it.

Difference is, I've tried hard to share my ricebowl with everyone on this forum, and I can count on one hand the number of people who've actively learned anything.

Point is, you can be a know-it-all or you can try to learn-it-all, its up to you.
