So, is this good or bad? It would really suck if everybody had one or two things they were experts on, because we’d constantly be getting questions nobody had a clue about. On the other hand, having a bunch of vaguely-informed polyglots would also suck, because we could never get to the bottom of anything, just scratch the surface.

Like those drawings we did in grade school where you do one crayon drawing with lots of colors, then cover it in black crayon, then scratch the black crayon off.

Speaking of non sequiturs.

Translation: When come back, bring tin-foil 1920s-style Death Ray and shoot Opal.

(but don’t _kill_ her, for God’s sake, or I’ll be guilty of _wishing death on a fellow Doper_ and summarily stuffed in **Coldfire** ’s sporrin)
