Some people think they know something about EVERYTHING!!! And they think that 'something' makes them an expert!!! |

People who act like that are probably insecure. I think all we can do is feel empathy for that. It's more useful than anger, anyway.

People who think they know everything really piss off those of us who do!

I don't really know much of anything about this subject and can't contribute to the conversation...

There's a big difference between knowing about something and merely having an opinion on it. Most people only have opinions. |

No, that makes sense.... opinions fly fast and free around here, which is (more or less) the point of a message board. At least, its the point of this kind of message board. (That's not a shot - I visit other boards which are very matter-of-fact sites concerning very specific topics... useful but not fun).
I guess there's a distinction between having an opinion and having an informed opinion... but its not like anyone is doing surgery based on MOL information, right?
If you really want to see a great example of the 'opinion' thing, check out the political soapbox. I do this rarely, but I'm always amazed at the threads... very interesting.
Oh, and PS - there was a great comment on the board within the last few months... something along the lines of "everyone here thinks they're an expert" and there was a VERY funny comment attached. It was something to the effect that "if someone can parallel park they think they can fly a jet" or "if they've seen one episode of The Discovery Channel all of a sudden they're a shark expert", something like that... as I recall it was kind of a generalized observation about American "get it quick" culture.
It was interesting.
