Probably the humblest intelligent youth on Newsvine. The rest of us are a bunch of narcissistic, opinionated, self-indulgent @!$%#s hell-bent on convincing everyone that we are right about everything and they are wrong even though they have lived far long than we have and know far more. Rumplestiltskin seems to be the only one of my age demographic on Newsvine genuinely interested in becoming smarter here, at all. As such, when he says something, it probably has some merit.

I'll let you know. ;-)
