:-)

You said it not me. You said

"Since there are people that know a lot more about the .NET framework than I, I do not qualify as an expert."

Given that premise (if there are people that know a lot more about a given topic than then you do not qualify as an expert) this can only be true for one person in any given field (unless of course there are those on top that have an exactly equal knoweldge, but that is not a natrually occuring phenomena).

Basically, my point is you are fabricating these defintions to win a debate with Jim. Thats pretty lousy.

>Spend less time trying to follow in the footsteps of others and gleaning knowledge from web snippets and more time think for yourself.

I think for myself. As alien as this may sound, I prefer to do the majority of my thinking in areas that don't have a huge marketing logo on it.
