"What's an expert? I read somewhere, that the more a man knows, the more he knows, he doesn't know. So I suppose one definition of an expert would be someone who doesn't admit out loud that he knows enough about a subject to know he doesn't really know how much."

So my cousin (best man, best friend) tells me frequently ;)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I've been here for two years and I must ask: Who the hell is Hawkcreek? No offense buddy, but I've seriously never seen you post. What's your expertise?

I've seriously never seen the guy post. I'm not knocking him for that because it's my fault; I'm just asking a question about what he posts in because it's obviously something that I haven't delved into that much and I'm curious about what I've been missing.

I have been asking this question all day...that's why I found your post funny.

The record is clear.

No one knows what any expert is an expert of (I know sentences should not end with a preposition...it is unavoidable).

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('threadbear', 'E')xperts! Perhaps those who choose to argue with them should be given the purple heart for bravery?


What the...When did I get the "expert" designation? I just noticed it now.

I think "know-it-all" might suit better though. :lol: Muchos gracias all the same! But, I don't have as much specific knowledge about oil, as many here. Roccman probably knows alot more about the whole subject, due to his background.

Same. I didn't notice it until Roccman said something about experts blah blah (I don't read all of what he writes).

I agree.

This can't possibly be anything more than Aaron and maybe a few others just having some interesting fun. It's too silly and just plain goofy weird to be true. Hey, maybe it's part of the fund-raiser. You know, 'experts' get to pay more.
