I sure hope that's the reason everyone is on a forum like this. Unless your goal is to (anonymously) show the world how smart you are, then you really can't get much out of this experience if you aren't a good "listener" (in quotes, because I actually mean reader). I like enlightening people to various things when given the opportunity, but I learn a whole lot more than I teach.Perhaps given the text-based format, serious contributors train themselves to read carefully (if it's a topic they are interested in).
