great analogy

DJ, great point. Thanks for sharing.

DJ, I learned something here. I understand how someone can get "ignored" (innocently) by a person that is interested, iniated the question, and had life come swooping down for a few days and forgot not only about the question but the forums entirely.

I was very interested in your response when I asked and had hoped you would come on soon but it took time "because we were not having a converstion as we know it" outside of cyberspace.

My last 20 years were in an environement that worked with and trained all employees on culture, societal norms etc.

I love your stuff, it takes my training and gives it meat. You are succinct and very close to the philosophy under which I was trained.

With all that said, I apologize for making you feel ignored-I was the initiator of this tangent we are on, plus initating the question to you that prompted this topic admits I should have done better as a friend. I am sorry.

But much thanks for a great write up it was fun and fascinating to read.

you're right, Lynn. Things do have a habit of getting in the way and demanding our attention. And thanks for the encouragement. I hope the editors feel the same way about the submission!
