Nice insight Jim, very good post, as usual. As you found the dealers to be story tellers extraordinaire, Im going through this stage now, and expanding my personal library and increasing my visual information in my field of interest, for me to learn continuously, and hopefully someday, end that with a publication, and get even with other people who continuously bugged me, looked down upon me, and even called me an "ass" on another website.

Saqr,
Glad to see you in your new reincarnation!
You DID pull our collective leg!

As for being called an "ass", in the academic world, the only way to stop being Ass Professor is when the promote you to Fool Professor

BTW, how many people here have not reach the voting age? Or, even more frightening, how many of the sword owners are still not allowed to drive a car?

I feel very, very old....
Be good, buddy!

Hear hear!
One thing I've learnt through my journey in life... is that one is never too old to learn! That often means asking questions or expressing opinions which, to some, appear simple/ stupid. But that is part of the learning curve. One should not be discouraged by detractors.I am reminded of one definition of 'expert': ex... has-been. spurt.... drip under pressure

). A lot of real experts decline the tag. One great sage even went so far as to say: if on one's journey through life, one meets a person who calls oneself 'buddha'... quickly kill him.

Regards.
