I started a thread like this the last couple of years, so why don't we have another go at it. What wit and wisdom have you gained in the past year from this dysfunctional group that is our Letsrun family?

I learned that I've heard of Jordan Hasay (actually I think this one has been around a lot longer than 2010).
I learned to be respectful of other people's opinions and not to base the merit of their opinions on either their PRs or the number of All America certificates they have.
I LEARNED NOTHING.
