Do you care to enlighten the "first-year" or "troll" with your wisdom and knowledge?

Not really, no. Please get back to your document review.

It's like what happened after Christopher became a made man on The Sopranos. He was responsible for treating the seniors to dinner, etc., had a small money-making racket, but had to kick up more upstairs ...
