 Hey, no problem Joe. The best part is that you DO give me an ability to put
these ideas up and work out the language of their expression, so to speak.
There are so many disparate threads in the tapestry, and too much of the
pattern gets lost - whether by deliberate obfuscation of the politically
inclined media or just plain out lack of understanding. In situations where
there are complex ideas that need to be distilled, the back and forth I get
and give is wonderful and absolutely necessary to framing the problems into
terms and ideas that can be understood by as many as possible.

A good foil to work off of is worth more than gold - never forget that.

Deb.
