I just read something recently that impressed me. It was NOT about
clarinet, or about music, but I think it applies.

At the end of the year they were doing the usual "highlights" articles,
and one was about people who had died. This person chose someone to be
the one who would be the greatest loss to the community because:

"he was nobody who was smart who couldn't learn from him, and there was
nobody smart that he could not learn from" (my quote is just from
memory, but that was the idea).

I really hope we can be that kind of people and reflect it in the basic
qualities of respect and responsibility. Respect in treating others
even better than we think they deserve, and responsibility in doing our
part to make the posts pertinent.

Well, if this is off topic please forgive me. I have been thinking of
it for a few days and just thought it would wrap up everyone's thoughts
as I have seen them expressed.
