My forum for venting displeasure with the large number of supposed experts on the internet.
Many have no clue what they are talking (writing) about. Experts? ...Yeah... uhhh... right...

Dumb and Dumber ...

Dumb and a Dumber ... http://www.techsupportforum.com

On this HELP website, two self-declared Micro$oft MVP experts ('CHEVY' and 'JOHNWILL') have trouble answering an easy question (...easy if you actually know your stuff).

- They don't know what the file MSIMN.EXE is for (see below).
- These "experts" haughtily write that they don't give assistance via PM or email...
- Seems like they don't give much assistance on their web site either!

The file MSIMN.EXE is the Email & news reader program (i.e. Outlook Express).
The file name itself is an acronym for Micro$oft Internet Mail (and) News (reader)

One "Expert" (Chevy) calls the other "Expert" (Johnwill) a "Wise A**" because he doesn't know that MSIMN meant "MS Instant Messenger". (It doesn't - that's why they have a spot here on this page). "Johnwill" didn't know enough to correct "Chevy". It took another person, "TCSCushing", almost a month later, to correct them.

M$ Expert Doesn't Know How To Use Wordpad

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Q_21676958.html

Gal that goes by the username, vsg375 (link) doesn't know how to use find/replace all (actually just the REPLACE option) in WordPad. She thinks that you have to find each instance one at a time, and then replace them one at a time. (vsg? hmmm... Very Stupid Gal?)

Hint: When you go to this site the first time, the actual answers are way at the bottom of the page. The top has the spaces for answers but they are greyed-out with a message that only "Premium" members can see the answers. But if it is your first visit to the site, scroll way down, past all the advertisement & junk in the middle. Once you get past that, you'll come to the actual answers. The site then puts a cookie on your computer, and if you refresh that page, or go to another page on the site, it will then block the real answers at the bottom: They are no longer visible. Easy fix is to delete the cookie and you can see another page's answers. Delete their cookie again and you can see another page, et cetera.
Stupid Educated People (or Educated Stupid People?)

... coming when I get around to it... I'll work on it when I get back from my Procrastinator's Club meeting.
