Ah, words to live by Ben.
Mike - I'm not so good at compartmentalizing, so the quality vs quantity question is one that I see/experience in every area of life. All I know or have come to learn is that it is a choice, i.e. that it involves a personal choice. It helps me make that choice when I accept the (obvious) fact that I'm not omniscient nor omnipotent nor outside the temporal order -- all of which means that I can either know/learn/experience a few things quite deeply and thoroughly OR I can know/learn/experience many things at a superficial and casual level. I think the former is more satisfying by far, but I can understand why others would feel differently.
