[GoneGirl]

I'm very much a Why and Wherefore type of person, and if I wasn't I wouldn't be here in this forum, and my life and career would have been very different. If a subject interests or is important to me then I'll explore all around it. A big store of technical trivia was a professional asset and I still find it useful. In the present instance the why and the wherefore help me decide how to lead my life and I hope make me feel happier about the journey. Would I have been happier and more productive without being that type of person - who knows? Both of my step children are "Tell me only what I need for my purpose, and no more" people who reckon that "Yes" or "No" should be the complete answer to most questions, and they seem to do OK.

I'm with you, Annabel. It doesn't matter the subject, I want to know more about the underlying principles and the foundation of knowledge that leads to understanding.

On the other hand, I can see Karren's side, too. At some point, knowing more 'why' doesn't change the 'what'. Pursuing the 'why' turns into 'what for?' Maybe it's an evolutionary process, the stages of which correlate well with the size of our breasts.

I'm still in the curious stage. The questions: "Why I am what I am?" and "How did I become that way?" are very interesting to me. I guess that's why I post more here than in the main forum. Breast growth is important to me, but it's just the visible tip of a massive iceberg that is my gender identity.
