What Knowledge Level Do You Have?

An important point was raised in the discussion on SD cards, that some users here are relative beginners and some are advanced, with all point in between no doubt. There is lots of good advice given, but good advice depends on the user's level as well. For example, no point suggesting a complex RAW converter to someone who wants print-ready images to print off at Jessops. I do quite a few workshops for beginners in particular and it can be quite surprising what people don't know and easy to pitch at too high a level. So the question here is for my own (and anyone else's) curiosity. What levels of expertise are we at and in what proportions of those who are here? Don't be shy with pitching yourself where you think you are! I realise the levels I've chosen are very subjective, but let's see where it goes.

And, on the other hand, it wouldn't be difficult to gain a decent understanding of photographic technology & techniques (e.g. by reading AP for a year)...

Although I now buy and largely enjoy AP, I find it highly variable and occasionally just plain wrong, e.g., the tosh they printed about focal lengths in the autumn.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
