@minion Never, ever apologize for a lengthy reply, at least to me. I appreciate it because it means you put time and effort into your reply. I had to create this post because there is evidently a 16kb limit to comment size. I guess I am nothing if not prolux.

I'm really happy you like my writing style. When you have time you should check my blog @williambanks
This isn't one of my better works though. I mean I can see that everyone enjoyed it and I know I am very passionate about it. But stylistically it's choppy and could really do with a good edit. I ran myself to exhaustion getting it out and never had a chance to grammar check it or spell check it, or get it in front of an editor. So it's just raw I guess.

If you're interested, my personal favorite blog entry is Mud, Blood and Glory! which I wrote and then @casandrarose edited, I hope you'll enjoy that one too.

I greatly appreciate the compliments and I am flattered. But I'm no genius. I just happened to touch a nerve when I saw some connections that were being missed. The real genius comes from each of us doing everything we can to make this place better. :)

It's fascinating to see the various experiments people are using this platform for.
