This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_00DF_01C234AC.3CD4E640 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Robert, I think Katherine was acknowledging (perhaps unknowingly) a theory know as "reciprocal altruism" (Robert Trivers, 1971) wherein the human species has developed an unconscious recognition that an altruistic act will be be repaid in some way that provides Darwinian benefits to the giver. This trait is more highly developed in some people than others ;-) In the context of this list, it seems to me that the benefits of altruism are: shared knowledge makes us all wiser and hopefully richer (certainly intellectually if not financially); we gain the esteem of our peers which raises our own self-esteem; and the Darwinian payoff is that we can better provide for our offspring. I don't know anything about Katherine's family, extended or otherwise, but I'll bet they'll reap the benefits of her altruism this side of the pearly gates.

If that's true, I still haven't figured out what exactly you hope to get out of all the seemingly selfless help you give to so many. If it's brownie points in heaven, I think you're whole extended family would qualify at this point ;0) Robert W.
