This is an age-old question that many a monk has brought up before.

I, for one, have asked myself this many times until someone in the CB pointed out to me that it wasn't what I knew but instead what little I knew that I shared.

...Do you *actually* think I know the same amount of Perl as some of the other monks below or of the same level as me? Definitely not.

All I do around here is try to contribute as much as possible by never logging out and by contributing answers to the questions I know.

To anyone doubting theirselves, just think that as long as you learn stuff here try to contribute intelligent and well thoughtout answers, than you are just as valuable here as anyone else.

BTW: good post, azatoth
UPDATE:Fixed load 'o spelling errors.
