Robert, I am very happy for you having archived a status in your life where
you can allow yourself this kind of view. I for myself am still very, very
young, only 23, and I have to learn and know a great many stupid boring
facts in order to get my hands on some kind of degree one day that will say
"Oliver knows how to think and how to work with his thought's fruit, so you
better pay him very well.". Afterwards, I will happily forget everything
that I might consider useless but exam-related.
Currently, I am of course far too clueless about language-science to decide
what is truly useless, so I have to organize the ingredients before I blend
them into a yummy shake.
No database may ever contain the important things, as they are the ones to
be found in Avi's Backdrop's notes section in the morning ;)
Oliver :)
