Before I discovered this site, I was the smartest guy I knew! If anyone around me had an idle question about, well, just about anything, they’d come to ME for an answer. I was the king of trivia in my little corner of the world. Perhaps Fate saw this, and directed me here for a little humbling.
I found the SDMB and thought to myself, ‘Cool! Now I can impress hundreds MORE people with my daunting intelligence!’ T’was not to be. In fact, I seem to be (ack!) of average intelligence after all! Every time I see a GQ I can answer right off the top of my head, eight or nine 'o youse have already beat me to it! Hmph…I’m gonna have to stick to ‘opinion’ debates.
Seriously though, I like it here. Thanks for reading.
P.S.: By the way, have any of you had the same experience? I mean, a big fish ‘little pond---->big pond’ kinda thing. Or does one simply take it for granted, being among intellectual equals? Apologies if I come off sounding elitist, I certainly don’t mean it that way (but you should meet the people I talk to every day!).
