You need to get over yourself a bit.
I am mildly smug in person it is true, but it is somewhat overblown on here because it amuses me.

When I said "I know enough to satisfy myself that my opinion is valid" I was talking about just those subjects you mentioned. I am aware of how little I know on many subjects, and even those I know a lot about there is still an awful lot more to learn.

The bottom line is you've read some things that have been said with tongue planted firmly in cheek and seem to have taken umbrage at them, despite them being harmless particularly in comparison to a lot of stuff bandied around on here, and because of that I'm glad you find my manner irritating.

and to flog that dead horse one more time, you didn't seem to have a problem with me until I said I didn't like Ian Dury.
