Brian-
Brilliant post! This is so true in many situations! I took degrees in
psychology, and sociology, supposedly HAD an IQ of 148, or at least high
enough to get into Mensa ( I used to be fast, but now I am just half
fast...--- and it still took me 40 years, several of them with a therapist,
to find out that I was ADD and chronically depressed. I tend to think most
of us are not aware of not just our incompetences, but many other factors
about our personalities as well. Analogous, I suposse to passing gas in a
crowded room. The 'passer' never really notices, even if folk around him (or
her) are dropping like flies!
I can at least thank the LUG for keeping me informed. If I perchance do
something that doesn't pass for roses, I know that the LUG will not let it
go without a comment!
