If you want to add any value at all in MI, you need to learn how to communicate effectively. You sound like a John Cleese parody of an Oxbridge professor after an all-night drinking binge.
Here's a lesson:
1) Learn to listen. This means more than simply waiting to talk.
2) Compose your message, then reduce the character count by 50% before hitting send.
3) Rinse and repeat.
