While I agree in principle that one can spread oneself to thin.... I hardly see that learning a bit about UET and a bit of relevant music history is tantamount to stretching oneself too thin. Its just not that much work. I have no problem with anyone simply not being interested themselves. But lets not try and justify a clear and simple matter of preference with attempts at objective reasoning justify these. Hey... its cool to just say "UET's are not my bag" Cheers RicB Jeff, I agree with what you said. There are too many times when a technician wants to delve into so many different things that, instead of being able to perfect the skills that are needed, they can compromise these skills by being a jack of all trades. While I fine nothing wrong with wanting to broaden one's horizons, you can get to a point of diminishing a needed skill in one area just for the sake of saying that you can now do something else that you never did before and in the long run it does not amount to a hill of beans. If you and many others are like me, you have a tough time trying to keep things as good as they should and need to be let alone trying to go after something that you might use once in your life if even then.
