Can we keep our e-peens in check please?  Everyone on the internet has a 
doctorate in <current_topic> and has tea with the <current_topic_expert> 
every Tuesday afternoon, and has <other_expert> on speed dial.  It 
doesn't matter if it is true or not, no one can verify it and it just 
really, really, really doesn't matter.  We are here to discuss ideas and 
code - and to evaluate, judge and vilify those ideas on the merits of 
the actual ideas - not on the e-peens of those writing the ideas.

Thanks,
