This is of course the crucial question.

What is it about me that makes so many different people think that I'm 
just an attention-seeking fool with a loud mouth who doesn't know what 
he's talking about? Several different people, in unrelated forums, have 
all independently come to the same conclusion. There must be a reason 
for this.

Yeah. I can do basic algebra correctly - sometimes. It seems that 
somehow I extrapolated from this that I'm some kind of maths "expert". 
Needless to say, delusions of grandure don't go down too well when you 
meet a *real* expert.

Maybe that's what my problem is? Ideas about my station?
