Whilst my comment was very much tongue in cheek, there is a certain amount of truth in your statement. It's very well known that people within organisations are promoted to the point at which they are incompetent, and the same can be said for any organised group really. It's rarely the most competent people shouting the loudest, in any situation.

I use you as a benchmark for how much of a knob I'm being on here. Whenever I find myself liking one of your posts (more often than I like to admit), or I get a notification that you've liked one of mine I think "oh God, what have I said?
