I too must agree that high level games are not only feasible, but can be very
enjoyable. I do, however, enjoy the challenge of getting there much more than
actually being there. Having reached the peaks of power of their given         
profession, I prefer to either retire my characters or start a political
career(I've always wanted to rule some small country as a dictator{benevolent o
course!}). I have found that many involved in high level play do so because
they are incapable of recognizing  a reasonable end to their character's
career, and so through irrational loyalty continue to play the same old tired
character(please don't mistake me, this is certainly not a universal phenomena)
I prefer to think of a high level campaign as the last icing on the cake to
finish up my character's adventuring properly, but then each to his/her own.
