Luke,
It is certainly true that "There is no new thing under the sun", but don't think I'm comparing you to Solomon.

One of my favorite sayings is that "You learn something OLD every day". The source of that knowledge is irrelevant. From within the hobby or outside, it is old knowledge newly acquired by the learner. Yes, we do apply knowledge learned in the dry world to our wet hobby, but in any case we had to obtain the knowledge as a perceptive observer, a continual student, a permanent learner. From there we use it in the wet world and it moves "inside" the hobby. How it came inside really doesn't matter.
