Help
They just give out so damn much advice!!!!
I personally think Alex is a lot more knowledgable when it comes to the technical side of things however Adam seems to know how to fix most problems posted on these forums.
Discuss or don't discuss it's up to you guys, but I just thought I'd say thanks from me and everyone else to these to guys for their overwhelming knowledge of all things Windows (and most things not!).
While I'm at it I don't think anyone has ever said this but thanks to everyone on these forums who has helped anyone with a problem.
Regards, Waffler

Giving out advice anybody can do, the trick however is giving out pertinent, correct and timely advice which I find both seem very adept at doing if I must say so myself 
Now as to the "SMART" part of your question, that I'm going to leave for somebody or some being that can attest to this directly since I don't know either personally, only via this wonderful forum

Lmao @ AlexStaar!
Yes, I realise that there are hundreds if not thousands of people here give out plenty of advice and help to people but I have been a member for less than a month so I'm sure you will all forgive me for not knowing of them, it's just that whenever I login and look at the new forum topics, it seems that you two have always contributed to the thread by adding something useful.
Sorry if I have offended anyone because I didn't mention them, but they were the fisrt 2 that sprung to mind...
But like I said, thanks to EVERYONE for all help, tips, hints and advice given that has helped people solve their problems.

Hehe thanks for the recognition, I think it's important for information and knowledge to be free (as in speech, not necessarily as in beer) 
Who knows, maybe my next career will be in education?
Again, thanks, but no matter how much you know, there is always someone who knows more. Hard work DOES pay off, and so does good intentions.

i been reading these forums forever, even before w2k came out.
puroozing this place has made me a master at special unattended installs. it has also allowed me to take over all "it" chores at this company in my spare time. (im really a process engineer) i tell everyone who is even interested in computers to come to this site and read thru the forums.
there are other help forums but many are populated by children who know more about flaming than computers... i guess im too old for that nonsense anymore.

I realize I havent posted in these forums for quite sometime but I did have some ideas to share.
First. When did clutch get his MSMVP ? CONGRATS !! I wonder if he has had the chance to meet Darren, Deji, and Joe ......
Second. I didnt know that people from other sites were trolling in these forums .... its a shame ... script kiddies hehe. I remember when it happenned between neowin and activewin. Glad to see the management are more adult then there members.
Second + 1. I remember this site when it was red and green and people were hacking their voodoo drivers to get them to work with 2000 Beta 3. Thats build 2085 or so, I am probably off by a few on the number.
Finally. Everyone in these forums contributes. From the person who asks a question that makes the experts here rack their heads to the question that makes those said experts remember an archaic topic. In a dynamic busines such as ours, we will be the perpetual student. None of us are any better than the other, just more experiences in one subject.
And Alex, like I said a year ago. I couldnt code myself out of a paper bag. Script ... yes .... but an actual non-vb app. HA!! LOL. Who wants to see a grown man cry I do have say this is one of the most professional forums on the net. Everyone should pat themeselves on the back for that.
Oh and regarding the alcohol to maintain my sanity, http://www.labatt.com/ is damm good 8)
