David, your Theodore Zeldin Conversation post yesterday evening reminds me of one of my own favourite quotations about the power of sharing knowledge through conversation:

"If you have a penny and I have a penny and we exchange pennies, you still have one penny and I still have one penny. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange ideas, you now have two ideas and I now have two ideas.“
