[QUOTE="Hoot, post: 9861, member: 1001"][i]The first sign of learning expertise is the understanding that you are not an expert.

Words to dwell on and live by. Thanks. And it's said that when Einstein wrote the theory of general relativity that he likely knew nearly all of current physics, but by the time of his death, even in the short years following the development of quantum mechanics, he knew less than 10% of what had been developed subsequent to the introduction of his theories.
