Weird. <br /><br />Anyway, it's true: You have developed a good mental habit of inquiry and thought. If an individual is curious by nature, it sometimes paradoxically HELPS not to have too much formal education in the first part of life. It's the inquisitiveness that matters.Andreashttp://andreaskluth.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-29372796687581660802011-09-20T16:33:18.293-04:002011-09-20T16:33:18.293-04:00Your blog is the one with the interesting commenta...Your blog is the one with the interesting commentary.

Kudos. <br /><br />Who is this blogger and where is this fascinating post? Could you link to it?

I had to smile when you said, "There is no such thing as a stupid question." I have a sensitive funny bone (and love to banter) and it made me think of a poster I once saw: It was a picture of a box of light bulbs and only one was lit. The title was "Cluelessness" and beneath it was written "There is no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots." I am in no way implying that you are being described here. But, I do have to say, you are definitely one of higher cognitive skills if you are able to discern that just being able to pose a question denotes intelligence. You are absolutely correct. <br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to write and share your beautiful talent of expressive language with us all.Deannavoelkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-43059437761898677402011-07-01T12:29:54.124-04:002011-07-01T12:29:54.124-04:00Disqus generic email templateAnd his presence was ...Disqus generic email templateAnd his presence was appreciated.Douglas4517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-89701810171757436462011-07-01T12:29:52.257-04:002011-07-01T12:29:52.257-04:00Disqus generic email templateTrust me, no comment ...Disqus generic email templateTrust me, no comment is unworthy.
