My god this thread made me wonder why I came here so I looked up some of my first posts, I sincerely hope I am not as much of an arrogant brat (anyone reading up my first posts will see what i mean :( ).

I think I came across this place when looking for a solution to a maths question, and have never left it because its got so many cool people who are willing to help and are interested in the same things as me :D

When I'm tired of studying, having difficulty studying or otherwise have newly created free time, I find that it is better to come here as opposed to playing video games.

This is the best forum to relate to a math/physics major trying to keep their thoughts focused on the subject.

Do you just read and never post? Because You've been a member for more than a year, you have only 4 posts and You've contributed to the website. Not that there's anything wrong with that :P

I'm here just trying to expose myself to much more intelligent people, hoping that their mannerisms and professionalism will rub off on me. Biggest lesson I need to learn is to recognize how ignorant I really am, and become serious about learning.

But only for as long as they'll put up with me. :-p

We'll put up with you until you start exposing yourself, hoping something will rub off... :biggrin:
