The combined brain power of members of this forum is undoubtedly awesome. This is especially when you consider their diverse range of backgrounds, lifestyles, training, experiences, schooling, indeed anything and everything that goes to make each of us as diverse and individual as we are.

Academic qualifications are one thing, and OK society does need ppl who can think. However if we do not have those who can be practical, the academics would never be able to work out how to put their ideas to good use. Good schooling is not enough by itself. There are numerous examples of extremely successful businesses set up by those with next to no formal education. Get up and Go counts for as much as "brain power". And of course even if you do not run your own business, have loads of letters after your name, or other measure of success, that big idea may just be round the corner.

In the meantime those who believe they have the "brains" should be capable of understanding that without the contribution of those who are more of a "doer", the world and indeed this forum would undoubtedly be a much poorer place.
