and I would agree with you. You have to make your dialogue true to your characters [Smile]

I think the key in good writing is knowing how to balance it out - how much dialogue to include, how does it move the story along, is it meaningful dialogue or just a lot of expletives....sounds like you've already carefully considered all of that.
