SO IF I UNDERSTAND YOU POSITION....YOU WOULD RATHER WALLOW IN YOUR OWN LACK OF
KNOWLEDGE, THAN GLEAN ONE IOTA OF INFORMATION FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS MORE
ABOUT A PARTICULAR SUBJECT.....
IF SOMEONE CARES TO SHARE THEIR TECHNICAL EXCITEMENT ON A SUBJECT.....THEN
WELCOME THEM....AND TRY TO LEARN.....
AN ELITIST, WOULD NOT BOTHER TO WASTE THE TIME TO TRY TO TEACH NOVICES ABOUT
THE SUBJECT FOR WHICH THEY HAVE A PASSION.....
SO WHETHER I UNDERSTAND THEM OR NOT.....I WILL ALWAYS THROW OUT THREE CHEERS
FOR THE EXPERTS WHO TAKE THE TIME TO PRESENT A TRETISE ON ANY
SUBJECT....WHETHER I UNDERSTAND IT OR NOT.....
