I'm an expertI spent four years of my life acquiring a PhD. This makes me an expert in the use of transparency in computer interfaces. It's not a hugely useful or interesting expertise, but it's all mine. I'm pretty hot at sitting on the sofa, too.
What are you lot experts in?

Despite having no formaleducational qualifications whatsoever, I nowadays hold down a senior exec day job & all my staff have degrees - which probably makes me more of a successful bullshitter than an expert I suspect (an expert being defined as "one specially qualified by study and practice in any science or art", according to my ancient dictionary)
I also count myself as having been lucky rather than expert in having spotted numerous then virtually unknown bands and musicians who subsequently went on to achieve at least cult status.... did the first ever interviews with Guided by Voices, Ghost, Olivia Tremor Control, Bardo Pond, Neutral Milk Hotel and the Bevis Frond for instance (OK so I did say cult status and not fame and fortune!)
