Knowledge can't be divided, only multiplied
It's the quality of the team that makes a Q&A site work

The new overall Access expert of Experts-Exchange
Congratulations to capricorn1, the new overall Access expert of Experts-Exchange.
It's great to see that after some 5 years being the #1 there's now a new #1 exactly fitting the new EE profile of "quantity and $$'s" instead of "quality and real experts".
capricorn1 reached the #1 status with "answering" almost 4500 questions (while my nico5038 account answered almost 7000 questions), this really shows that hunting points by selecting the easy 500 pointers does pay off.
Also the fact that capricorn1 became #1 Access expert by reading the Access help file, googling for answers, posting just links and copy/pasting comments from others without a reference, really shows that little needs to be known to become an expert at EE.
The fact that capricorn1 has no knowledge of Boolean logic and post a WHERE clause like:
WHERE (A and B) or (A and not b) or (not A and B)
is no obstacle to become the overall #1 Access expert.
Having no programming training or experience at all is no problem either, just pick the easy ones and ignore the harder Q's they do cost more time to answer and certainly slow down the collection of expert points.
It also helps to become friends with a Page Editor (jimhorn) and let him do the work to eliminate the ruling #1 by getting him suspended after calling him names and ignoring administrator e-mails.
The accusition from capricorn1 that I was acting like "owning" the site (when I asked him to elaborate on his comments to help the questioners) is caused by the fact that capricorn1 doesn't know the difference between being "committed" and being "involved". I started, out of commitment, to cleanup abandoned questions. Thousands of questions have been cleaned manually this way and thus rewarding experts with their points. capricorn1 always accepted the points, but never took the effort to help cleaning questions.
It's sad to see that, after being suspended, the moderators and admins did remove all links to my geocities page that held the Access samples for members I helped. Many Access experts are thus unaware of the fact that I've been suspended for five months and it shows that the freedom of speech (5th Amendment) isn't applicable for Experts-Exchange.
It's obviously common practise at EE to suspend their best experts as you can read from:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_876428.html
callrs is the "rookie of the year 2006" and suspended....
Again congratulations capricorn1, a true EE expert that's capable enough to call another expert names, refuses to respond to moderating attempts: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Community_Support/General/Q_21330288.html and never spent one minute keeping the site clean or help other experts.
I've refrained from posting these "congrats" on Experts-Exchange, as it would have been removed instantly and one of the conditions for my unsuspension was the fact that I wouldn't make critical comments to "a particular EE member".
