Yes, and no.  Obviously, MIT grads got to where they are because they are intellectually superior and/or had the drive that others didn't.

Not that they're the only people we should listen to when it comes to things.  

What I'm saying is, rather than telling someone who DOES know what they're doing that they're full of crap and don't know what they're talking about, most people here don't actually take free knowledge given to them with any sense of gratitude.  I'm not just talking about bagginsbill, here.  

Most threads here de-evolve into "I'm more right-er than you are!  Neener neener!" faster than anything else.  Most times, everyone's wrong.  Or, my favorite, everyone's saying the same thing, only using different words, and arguing about the grammar.  

My point is, rather than "I'm right because I own the software and X versions before it", how about "This is how it's really done, taking these steps", or "this is why what you're doing is the wrong way, here's why it failed, and here's what you can do to circumvent it".  Or, sometimes, "Yes, I know it's wrong, and I don't know how to fix it."  Rather than attacking the guy that's actually giving the answers that are right (although, not always what you want to hear), most people go on a rant about grammar, attitude, and how they didn't like the answer.  Sorry, I don't like being told I can't do something, either, but I try to stop short of setting my computer on fire.  If it's not technically possible for me to do it RIGHT NOW, I wait.  
But, like I said earlier in this thread, since no store sells packets of Patience, it's running short in the community at large.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it into a fruit salad.
