Do you consider yourself a fountain of knowledge?

Bear

In my case, I find that it helps

to keep my feet clean.

Bear

actually, my numismatic knowledge, allows

me to tower over any 3 year old in the house.

Raybo

Not at all!

I'm here to learn from people like you Bear.

A dripping water faucet, maybe. Every once in a while I know somthing.

Bear

Dear Morgan dollar, I have

that problem, I always

thought it was my prostate.

morgandollar1878

It is my prostate. I am pro in my own state... of mind.

Bear

Now that was funny!!

lcoopie

more like a suction of knowledge

GrumpyEd

I know how little I know.

I have absolutely no idea what the point of this thread is. Can someone help

My wife says I'm a fountain of knowledge of useless information, baseball statistics, history dates, studio musicians. Unfortunately iy does not extend to the numismatic world.

...much more like an abyss of ignorance. ...a veritable promordial waters of ignorance.

Everytime I learn much of anything it raises two new questions. Going forward I can
only go backward but standing still is never an option.

You had too much honey today.

Yes, sort of. Knowing at least a little about a lot of things comes in handy as a magazine editor.

Knowledge is power, but too much knowledge makes the fountain overflow and thus you become less prudent in your own domain..

I sometimes marvel at the wealth, breadth and depth of information I've yet to even tap into.

My students laugh at the volumes of useless biology facts I seem to know, but most of what I offer them comes from my studies of biology.

They don't understand that I have and will continue to learn, synthesize new information and study...



As for numismatics, if this hobby were a school system, I'd still be in third grade.

More knowledge than when I started, still a long way til graduation...

I think it depends a lot on who is drinking at my fountain.

Ya heard of the "Fountain of Youth," well, I'm the "Fountain of Oldness."

I'll second that my brother..

Walmann

No, but I wouldn't be adverse to people making a wish and throwing their change at me.

<<Do you consider yourself a fountain of knowledge?>>

Bear, why don't you ask a new question? ""Who do you consider a fountain of knowledge?"

I had a certain desire to answer in the affirmative, but modesty (false?), uncertainity and fear of the future stopped me.

The younger Walter Breen was a fountain of knowledge that gradually became clogged.

Bear

Alright, you asked for an answer and it is incumbent upon me to

give you an answer that is cogent yet precise. All members of this Forum

are potential sources for information. Some lessor and some

greater. All comments and threads, will contain some

element of substance ,be it of wit, philosophy, historic

recollection, ethos, pathos as well as, in rare cases,

coin related substance. As one does not live by bread alone,

so too must a Forum , require some sustenance , other then that

mundane topic of coins.

I was known in my younger days as the "orifice of useless information."

silverdollarfitz

I myself am but a crack in the fountain.

a great quote: "To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge."

well I am definately sure i'm ignorant, so i'm on my way to knowledge.
