*blush* thanks. :-) I'm glad I come across as sympathetic but not just mouthing pap.
Anyhow, yeah, I really do value the friends of mine whose talents are more general. The guy who writes well AND is compassionate AND solved the Marcel Gillen "Fireplug" puzzle as fast as I did... the gal who tells a good joke AND loves her kids AND works hard in her high-tech job... the guy who programs for a living AND attends Zen Buddhist retreats AND showed me what "oak" tastes like in a wine... that sort of person. I also value the "best at something" friends, as long as they're not too full of themselves. :-) But I do appreciate generalists. At least my internal value system is somewhat consistent!
