What is the offical term for someone with a genuine thrist for knwoledge'?
My friend assures me there is a proper name for someone who is always wanting to know more.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
