All right, you're laying on the false modesty a little thick. I appreciate that you try for humility and that's laudable, but you're not a dummy and you know it.

Eh, I don’t know that it’s humility as much as it is that I just feel comfortable in my own skin and sincerely comfortable being of average intelligence, especially compared to the majority of the folks on this board. I like to think I’m gifted in being personable in real life, but I don’t have any illusions that I’m particularly smart.

I always think of intelligence as being like one of those boards in a recording studio that have all the little sliders that each have to be adjusted just right for the particular situation in order to create a great recording. As such, intelligence isn't just one of the sliders but is the combined effect of all the sliders being just right for the situation being dealt with. I can remember one time in a former house when I was digging a hole in which to plant a tree/shrub my wife had just purchased. The ground was pretty hard, and I was using a pickax to break up the dirt. I hit something that gave off a hollow sound, looked down and saw a broken piece of PCV pipe. This was the sewer line leaving my house going to the sewer main. My sliders had not been properly aligned for the situation I was in.
