Gato - Everyone reading this board is a schmoe of one kind or another.
It's just a matter of degree.
Wear the title with pride...it's actually quite the compliment around here. 
LOL! I know what you mean but still refuse to accept that label. I'm a documentary filmmaker who has "accidentally" specialized in BB vids. (It's a long story.) I could be filming quiltmaking and getting the same thrill out of it if there was a good, dramatic story.
I have seen my share of schmoes. Schmoes gross me out. They are sad and slimy and I NEVER want to be thought of as one.
