Hi Wim,
Thanks for your post.  Good thoughts there.  But I wanted to say...

If there are people who are that advanced in their education that they
haven't much more to learn,  I hope they will not stay away, but rather
TEACH the rest of us from their wells of knowledge.

I love to learn.  Learning something new gives me a real boost in the morale
department.  And I can imagine that teaching someone something new must also
be exhilarating.  I hope to explore that end of the spectrum someday.
(Perhaps the more I learn, the more I'll be able to share with others.)

Thanks,
