[MD] The Edge 2006 Annual Question

[David M]

Ian

Don't you lack modesty here? if you do not understand
you may well be confronting something new and worthy
of pursuit. Scott certainly brings up stuff I have never heard
of and I don't often say that. Maybe Scott does understand you
and you not him. Of course the other possibility is that Scott
does not understand what he says and is a bit mad. In which 
case we should be kind and polite perhaps. But I don't think we
can conclude that yet. I never reallyunderstand why people
rise to suggested arrogance, if it is unjustified we should be
able to laugh it off as if we are right in seeing it we are no doubt
securely superior. And that is just down to lucky experience anyway.
