Along those lines, this forum has been a godsend to me.
Over the past 15 years, it has been a marvelous place to test ideas and learn.

I have yet to discover another medium which has achieved such a good balance between order and chaos.
That balance is necessary to allow ideas to flourish.

But, it makes sense.
Ideas and communication are a necessary prerequisite to influencing hearts and minds.

That was outstanding, thank you. I passed along to (English/German double-major) grand-daughter. One doesn't have to be a SEAL to have found plenty of times throughout life when being able to read/write/interpret one's language is a force multiplier. I've also been blessed a few times in my life with bosses who would hear me out completely on something, giving me all the feedback I was hoping for, and then say "put it in writing and get that to me." After the first success I asked of the rationale for that and it was explained how that process will flesh out & improve the product, among other things.

Good stuff.
