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?

i type one handed. the other is usually holding a glass of or [beer]. i could use capitals if i wanted to. i just don't. doesn't detract from my general perfecton though.

Some of us do it for a living ... spout off believeably, that is.

You know what? I know quite a lot about some specific things, and the reason for it is MN, and daring to post in an arrogant way about things I really didn't know much about (but thought I did) and being slated for it and corrected.

Once the wounds were licked I'd found I'd learned something and was able to pass it on.

listening to radio4 for long enough, you learn everything.

EggyAllenPoe - my dad says the same thing!

mightybright your names makes you sound intelligent, can't think why.

The key word is "seem". All is not always as it seems. But there are sometimes hidden gems in piles of bullshit.

I don't claim to know anything except that I have experience with my own kids.

My username is a permanent warning not to take me seriously

Oh Eggy - were you full of culteredness at birth, or did you take exams?

Has anyone seen Hec around recntly, she'd fit right in on this thread?

yes where is blody Hec? I miss her. I'd like to be HEc when I grow up.

Asinine - It is a bit of a misleading name... I do want to change it but can't be bothered to think of something witty/cool/unique

Are they things you know they're right on though? Because you get many people on forums who are amazingly confident but don't actually know what they're talking about.

Also, on internet forums all over the world people talk about pretty much the same things so if your a seasoned forum user you just pick things up. I wouldn't be too in awe.

I'm special and I'm the chosen one :)

"general perfecton though."

I think mightybright is a sparkling name altough would be much prettier if it was capitalisered.

Hec has name-changed. I know this because, well, I know everything.

Yes, BOF, I know that.
