I don't generally consider myself a bullshitter, but I'm also never sure I'm truly well-informed. A person's only an expert until they meet someone better informed than themselves. I just think of myself as curious. And I like to think of knowledge as being extremely flexible and more fun when shared, not just outgoing from me, but incoming, too. (I'm terribly susceptible for making friends or dating sheerly for a desire for more information. "Oh you do X? I'm interested in X! Let's be friends." This isn't always a good basis for friendship, particularly if said person is totally uninterested in anything outside of X, which all too often has included me.)
Anyway, thanks for the compliment. That's the nicest thing anyone has said about me in a very long time.
