dear_zeke Portaleer What you wrote 070611 on the stop_blathing_if_you_have_nothing_to_say page is really right on. Unfortunately, for some of us (such as I) it takes a year of blathing before one begins to appreciate that. No arguments against my madness have been so effective as the inner realization of the things you so eloquently stated in the above-mentioned blathe. Thanks. 070612 ... zeke thank you. that is a very great compliment. i will take it as such. i was not, however, making an argument, only sharing my personal approach to blather. i am glad you were able to find it meaningful. 070613 what's it to you? who go blather from
