There may be people on these boards that are cocky about their knowledge but there are many who DO know what they are talking about and when someone asks a question, they are ASKING FOR AN ANSWER.
I would also point out (and risk being called pompous and all knowing myself) that 'pedistools' is actually spelled 'pedestals' and if you want to post something though provoking to make a point, you might want to be sure that you spell the words in your post correctly and that you use punctuation.
It may just be my hang up but as soon as I see rampant misspellings and poor punctuation in a post, I discount it immediately.
As for Wicked, I don't have any feeling one way or the other about this show and I know a lot of people like it, but when you post on a board like this you are subject to the theatrical knowledge and opinions of other people (some of whom know more about the theater than you do and some of whom may know less than you do). If you don't want to engage in an exchange where you may end up agreeing to disagree, then don't post on a message board.
