thanks for that, I wanted it earlier but couldn't remember the name. Got it saved now.

I think it was Einstein said: "Confidence is inversely proportional to Intelligence" --- This being because highly intelligent thinkers question everything including themselves.

Something I found in my own life is that the more I know, the more I realise I don't know. There is an infinite amount of potential learning/knowledge out there. -- I have heard the little kids say, "I know lots", and just smile.
