Since I'm a knowitall, the latter sux0r bigtime. Or, add a third vs.: "Being a knowitall in the company of an even bigger knowitall."

In Lee's second post, there should be a comma after 'that'

Is this the thread where we pick on Lee? I would comment on the actual thread topic, but it's reached an hour where I know nothing.

Leee is spelled with three 'e's.
Ha! I am getting corrected by my own know-it-all self.
