| Oh wow yes. I sort of grew up on these boards and 99% of what I said when I was like 12 makes me wonder why I wasn't banned. |

| Except in Prelude's case, instead of looking back and saying "Wow, I didn't know how to use pointers!", it's more like "Wow, if I had used the Melkin-Schwartz Algorithm instead of the Jameson Algorithm, I could have shaved a couple of milliseconds off each iteration! God, I was such an idiot!" *The Melkin-Schwartz Algorithm is patent-pending, until I'm able to change my name to Melkin-Schwartz

| Actually I'm disproving most claims by stating mine a the true and valid one.

| Yeah, but fortunately people have short memories. You can regain your reputation in a few hundred posts. |

| Back when I used to post about a couple times per day I think people were annoyed at me. Now I come here if I'm bored and people hardly know who I am

| When I look back on posts, I see the reason I joined the boards - my first post was helping someone, and nearly all since have been helping people as well. I don't post questions, because I haven't come up against many that I couldn't answer on my own through a little research/trial and error. I've given wrong advice in the past and been corrected, and in that manner I've learned a lot of interesting and subtle things. I never feel like an idiot, just misinformed at the time! I suppose that would be different if I was like many other members who got into flame wars with some of the higher ups (namely against quzah) - that's just stupidity squared unless you have undeniable evidence that you're right! I love being corrected by someone more experienced - it's nice to know that there's plenty left to learn. I've helped a lot of noobs get started around here, and I sometimes wonder about the possibilities of where they might end up. I enjoy tackling some of the projects people present here for myself - easy way of finding new things to try out.
