"Expert" is the level of the content than we seem to be aiming to produce. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy They first make mad. -- Euripides

I'd hate to have people feel they need to be an expert in something to contribute here. Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
