To wonder how some posters seem to know everything about everything...

[mightybright]

Some posters pop up on threads of varied and often complicated topics and manage to have a well formed opinion on it, know all the facts and figures and put their point accross eloquently? Makes me feel a bit dim at times AIBU?

it's because some of us are very special. and brliant.

Yes I agree, I feel amazingly inarticulate here at times.

you're making me blush now

Some of us have other skills, like being able to spell.

I'm a serial lurker. I know a little about lot's of things & I know lot's about a few specific things.

It's an art form natch.

YANBU but for me, it's a great thing, something I can learn from. And I'm grateful to those who go to the trouble of researching and providing links etc.

I can only aspire sometimes. It's the ones who spout shite all over the gaff who get on my tits

I can understand one or two threads but some people seem to know everything about every thread on here!

I just think I know everything

Hell yeah

I mean you're not being unreasonable. I know jack shit about nowt it would seem.

I don't even know what natch means :(

I'm more Henry's Cat style...know everything about nothing and not too much about that

Don't stop me pitching in with an opinion.

I just don't like being shouted at so tend to keep to threads I can do some fence sitting on.

Unless I'm having a bad day and then I'll tell the lot of you exactly what I think [rubs hands]

I have actually learnt a lot from mumsnet genuises maybe I will become one too if I stick around long enough!

The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.

Which makes me really rather wise :)

fearnelinen - I think it means naturally

I doubt I'm one of these prolific and articulate posters but some of us are just old... You can learn a lot in 40+ years.

but then you have to question what is out there for those people in the real world that they have so much time to articulate in the virtual one?

i know everything about everything and then a bit more. i am superb and brilliant. i can also spell, use grammar and speak clearly.

YANBU i've developed a real inferiority complex, realised i'm quite dim, abuse the English language at every turn,not half as amusing as i think i am, have no sense of style,oversensitive.

However always knew i was a shite relaxed mother.Ha! didn't need MN to tell me that.

'I doubt I'm one of these prolific and articulate posters but some of us are just old... You can learn a lot in 40+ years.'

Oh yes!
Including how to woffle.

Some people have photographic memories, and barely sleep.

Rubbish at capitalisation though Crevix.

Yes, there's not much I don't know.....

'and barely sleep.'

That's me. Would you like my over-stuffed lifestyle and a stress level that could power the National Grid?
