   I don't know better than anybody and I don't care about anybody.  Never in my   
   mind do I think i'm better than another person. That's not how my mind works.   
   I worry about myself until it affects me.   
      
   Those people you talk about are probably not experts. Everyone is ignorant and   
   people get slow and sloppy.   
      
   For me, setting up networks, running bbses and setting up fidonet isnt hard.   
   I've even fixed multiple people's fidonet setups even though i was rusty and   
   don't know as much about it as other people claim to.  yet my shit works and   
   theirs didn't.   
      
   I have no interest in IT anymore but I know plenty about it.  I've taken   
   practice tests/courses for certs at work during downtime for those various   
   certs and most of it seems common sense to me. they had them in our   
   cornerstone.   
      
   IT seems like a boring career to do and i know a lot of people who work in   
   it.  I like to use my mind and my body.   
      
   and regarding my posts, I'm not out to make any friends. But if someone's   
   posting shit about me and being nasty, if you dig far enough back i think i'm   
   in the right  most of the time.  but who really cares.   
      
   we are just pixels on the screen to eachtoher.   
      
   if you're talking about nick and gamgee. they're just fun to make mad.   
   the way they go on and on. they are good entertainment.   
      
   I believe a while back i offered to wipe the slate clean and they refused.
