Remember, an "X" is a has been and a "spert" is a drip under pressure.

If someone has to tell you he is an expert in something, he probably isn't.
If someone has a bunch of credentials, it doesn't necessarily mean they know anything other than how to take tests.
If someone passes on the knowledge they have, they make good sense and their suggestion works - they should be listened to.
Be very careful who you listen to.

Yes, I'm cynical. It comes from experience.

Good Luck,
