Chalk it up to an insatiable curiosity, a voracious appetite for knowledge, and a vast collection of reference material. I'm really not trying to be a know-it-all, because I *don't* know it all. And I never will.
What I find saddening is that there are very few people in the circles I hang in that either know what I'm talking about, or have an interest in what I'm saying. It's like they've built little boxes or walls around themselves, whereas I've knocked down those walls for myself. And when I decompartmentalize myself, and people see all of me, those folks aren't interested in seeing the other facets of me; they only want to stick with the facet of me that they have in common with me.
