This post sparked the following thought in me head.

Whether formal or informally available, it seems to me that any intelligent effort spent in helping people WANT to learn about whatever will be repaid in spades. If people really WANT to learn something, they'll get hungry for and use whatever is on offer .. and may also find or develop work-arounds that let them get to what they want to understand or know faster and better.

It's like that answer to the age-old dilemma to how to herd cats .. let 'em go hungry for a day, and then put out milk. Even the cats not in the vicinity at the time of the putting out will come running.

Apologies in advance if this comment isn't directly OT or is seen to be too frivolous by half.
