Where I come from, it was always safer to assume that I didn't know shit and be careful, than to pretend I did and run into the ground admiring myself. Isn't there a saying that says it is best to say nothing and let people assume you are stupid , than to open your mouth and remove all doubt?

It is not a crime to not know something, but some people act like it is a crime to admit it. As far as I'm concerned, I'm here to learn stuff, not run my mouth. That's why I don't post much anymore unless the subject is airplanes, the military or war strategy. I even get those wrong on occasion. There is another thread where some genius is calling Bush a 'weak fool' of all things, for leaving a word out of a speech, as though Bush would have used the word, had the Freeper only called him up and told him what to do. I think sometimes we forget who we are, and that the president might not need our help ALL the time in order to get it right.

What do you think makes people unwilling to admit they made a mistake on a bulletin-board? For chrissakes, we're anonymous. Is it some sort of reverse penis envy?
