Annoying experts

[Encaitare]

I don't think I know any truly annoying experts; rather, I admire the "experts" for their knowledge and dedication. For example, there is this man who runs the Ardalambion site (http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/) named Helge Kåre Fauskanger (had to copy and paste that -- couldn't spell it!) and he's an absolute genius. He's got all these analyses of all the languages and Quenya courses and I am just amazed by it.

I was reading until I heard someone nearby mention Frodo or something and I glanced over and started listening.

The same thing happened to my friend and I at lunch one day! We were having a normal conversation (or what is considered normal to us) and suddenly we heard someone across the room say "Frodo" and we just both stopped immediately and began to eavesdrop. Then we realized how pathetic we were and stopped... but only after the people had changed the subject!
