For my part, that perspective has been formed by my experiences.  Many,
many years ago when I worked in electronics the best of the best were
those who went home and experimented with the differences between xtal-
filters and phasing for SSB generation ... or messed with this new thing
called "hi-fi".  Later, as a professional pilot, the best of the best
both in the military and civilian sectors were the guys who ownded a
Pitts, Citabria, or even an old Aztec.  Now, as a parent who spends a
lot
of my free time at school with my 10 & 11 y.o. boys, I find that the
best
teachers are those who would be teaching without salary if there were no
paid teaching jobs available.

When Paul say' "Good work Igor, pass me that soldering scalpel", I hope
to be on his patient list!
