If you're on *any* technical discussion list and expect *not* to hear
offhand opinions (whether serious or light-hearted) I think you may
have a long term frustration ahead of you.

"Try this sometime. Get a group of children in a room with a light fixture hanging just out of their grasp. Then watch what happens: one child will jump to touch it, and before you know it, every kid in the room will be leaping like Michael Jordan. They're testing their skill, stimulated by the challenge of reaching something beyond their normal grasp. Put the same children in a room where everything is easily in reach, and there will be no jumping, no competition, no challenges. The problem with American education is a low ceiling of expectations. We have built schools that demand and teach too little, and the children have stopped jumping." - Carroll Campbell
