I am getting a bit confused now, mostly because English is not my native language.
Please explain: (my own meanings in brackets)
Expert ( in my book a title endowed by others, something to be proud of when you get it)
Specialist (a field, with lots of study and understanding the subject, not only study, but understanding the subject as well)
Fool (a title endowned by others, based on a persons speech and/or publications).

If my understanding is right, there can be no selfproclaimed "experts"
There are specialists that I know of, and bow my head to.

I know of some fools, by their own doing.

Some have had a sip of knowledge, but for them I can say:
"A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
For shallow draughts intoxicate the brain
And drinking largely sobers us again. "

I am one of these.
When you start learning, the understanding that goes with it is, that beyond your knowlwdge new mountains of yet to be discovered knowledge will rise up.

RCU for me has been kind of the well of Pieria. Learning from others is a great asset, we all have here at RCU. Digesting it with knowledge gathered. and re-presenting it is no great deal, but may help others to get along better in what they want to do this very moment.

So please, forget about the "expert" thing, and let's enjoy sharing what we know, discouver, or ask for.

For those who want to make fools of themselves, Let it be so. ( I hope I just did not )
