I'm amazed by the variety of the people here and also, I have to say, by the generally high levels of educational achievement. I knew the discussions here were on a different plane, people can write, spell and comprehend for a start, but I'm totally blown away now. :o
Definitely. For me, this is an online community of my intellectual peers, something which I cherish in both the real and online worlds. Age, education, whatever. I just like talking with people who think.

I think the lesson that we've really learned from this exercise is that trying to force-fit people into pigeonholes is a generally fruitless exercise. Business and science and art and design are things people do, not classifications of human beings. Specialization is for insects.
Exactly. (Do I detect a Heinlein fan?)

Well, I was in the legal field for 15 years before I decided to be a stay-home-mom. I'm not artsy or creative, but I love anything about science - it fascinates me. I like to watch the Science Channel. And my husband, who is the creative type, is a certified welder and pipefitter and thinks this is the most ridiculous game ever. So, we're backwards from what purportedly is the norm for people who enjoy this game.

I was an art major in college, but I have a strong interest in psychology and actually toyed with majoring in that for a while. I do lots of sim-psychology experiments on my sims ;).

Let there be no doubt about it! Rah, rah, RAH!
Innocent bystanders will be enlightened to learn that when I typed "Specialization is for insects" I was quoting the Dean of Science Fiction Himself, Robert A. Heinlein. My apologies to the memory of The Master for failing to attribute this wisdom to its source.
