No, it's how you're acting on here.

 

Look at all the posts addressing your question to which you

didn't respond.

 

And look at what you do choose to respond to, and how you

respond.

 

But, those feelings of being snickered at -- that might be

a good place to start inquiring -- if you're sincere

about inquiry.

You've identified with that pose, apparently.

 

Inquire into that identification, then.

Why don't you inquire into your idea that someone is in the

know about something, other than you.

Oh, so now you know after all? I see.

 

So, it's all a pose to put people down, and then claim that

you really know after all.

If you don't know, and are sincere about wanting to know,

like you first said, why didn't you respond

to the replies you got to your question?

 

If you do know, like you are now saying, enough to tell when

someone is or isn't on an ego trip, why did you ask the

question in the first place?

 

Who's on an ego trip here?

 

And no, Pete's game of counting posts is his own, and

you will never get in the know by trying to rival him

at that game. You'll never do it as well as he does,

regardless of whether you call it an ego trip or not.
