Hunting "Guru" on the World Wide Web

Since earliest times, man has been a hunter. First of necessity, and now we hunt just to prove our skills. The more elusive, rare, or dangerous the prey, the better the hunt.

I decided to try my luck at capturing the elusive “Guru”. I had heard that they were very rare, very elusive, and could sometimes be dangerous. Where to start? Like any good hunter I knew that preparation would be the key to my success. I had to find the answers to some fundamental questions:
· What exactly was a “Guru”?
· Where do they live, what do they eat, how dangerous are they?
· What is the best way to capture one?
I started my search for Guru in the same place everyone else does: the Land of Google. I very quickly learned that there were Gurus everywhere. Apparently they could adapt to almost any environment. I found 69 million references to “Guru” my first click!
I next turned to and old reference book I found in my office. A gentleman named Merriam-Webster had a small description of a “Guru” that I found to be helpful:
"A teacher and especially intellectual guide in matters of fundamental concern b : one who is an acknowledged leader or chief proponent c : a person with knowledge or expertise : EXPERT"
Now we are getting somewhere. I had been seeing people all over the web claiming to be experts. They had the photocopy of their check stub to prove it too. The ability to make money was the only proof they offered. If you didn’t believe them, well just send them $29.95 and they would prove it again. The fact that they can work in their underwear, eat catsup and rice doesn’t qualify them as worthy subjects of our quest. This type of “guru” is very dangerous indeed. Fortunately they are obvious to spot. They usually hang out with others just like themselves in chat rooms talking about how to milk newbies with their latest gimmick. What ever happened to the “teacher” who is a “leader” as well as an “expert”? The ability to meet your own needs is a good thing, however, the ability, and a passionate desire to help someone else meet their needs is the sign of a true “Guru”. The more people they have helped to succeed the greater their status should be. This variety is rare indeed. I can now see that this hunt is going to be one I will remember for a long, long time. If you happen to see a real “Guru” while you are out there on the web, please, let me know…
Good hunting.
