Other than genealogy, I don't think there are many people out there who know LESS than I do about the subjects you named. (Although I was a tiny bit proud that I know what the word lepidoptera means. )
In the area where I do have considerable knowledge - genealogy - I still am constantly learning from my colleagues and friends. Rock on, Harold!
So true, Harold. Constructive criticism usually serves to make me rise higher, although I may privately feel embarrassment at the necessity.
I enjoy your blog!
Thanks, Dawne and Melanie. Indeed, constructive criticism is not easy to come by (could be another blog post...).
