I don't believe I've ever met anyone more important than I am.
Anyone confident in their own self hasn't either

Maybe it's a product of modern education that people don't
know how to research or that it's a gimme-gimme-gimme world.
Even some bright kids I know can't see a solution that's in front
of them. They genuinely need to be told to look for it

I don't have a particular problem giving either pointers or even
full answers, or even totally ignoring impolite requests, but of
course we'd all rather that everyone was as up to speed as we
are
