Everyone is an expert in one thing or another on here. For instance, I'm well experienced in 36 degree green water coming over the bow and to the pilot house windows on a 95 footer in the Gulf of Alaska...and also how to professionally barf over the side (or in the head, which ever) ;-)
Wouldn't the answer to your question require some knowledge on the part of respondents as to which community members were knowledgeable and which were not? And if a respondent failed to include him or herself (perhaps out of nothing more than modesty), might that not imply to you they are not an expert on the art of sailing, thus calling into question, in your mind, their judgement as to who was and who was not?
Btw: I'm a n00b, too, so pay me no heed.

Whoa, that one made me think and now I have a headache

I am an expert at swinging in a hammock and drinking beer while avoiding yardwork and putting off building that plywood canoe. Careful now boys, it's not as easy as it looks!

I've always had a long standing respect for Jeff_H's advice on topics pertaining to naval architecture. Although, you have undoubtably noticed, that sailingdog has advanced to the coveted position of highest poster in sailnet's history . . . not that quantity equates to quality in any way .

Well..... now I think we are looking at obsessions I was in here at a bit after 7 this morning and SD had already posted 5 or 6 times. I think his PC is his alarm clock and the only way to turn it off is with a Sailnet Posting -
