Being less-than-knowledgeable is nothing bad and nothing anyone should
frown upon.
As I see it, everyone here is less-than-knowledgeable in one way or the
other - this being the very reason for the existence of this list.
Some answer more questions than they ask - for some it's the other way
round. But everyone occasionally asks a question or doesn't know the
answer to a particular question.

BUT: being less-than-knowledgeable and
- fiddling around with things one doesn't understand, misunderstanding
the results and presenting a twisted version of the own
misunderstandings as fact,
- giving misleading and sometimes even dangerous advice,
- being completely free from thoughts like "maybe I could be wrong?",
"maybe I did something wrong?",
- calling people funny names,
- abusing this list as a personal blog
is an *entirely* *different* matter.
