Final Word
Actually, today, I will have the final word.
You know, in my time I've started a few threads that started with a "what if" clause. Some of them were pretty naive by the standards of some of the respondents.
I rolled with them anyway, because I learned something from the interchange.
Some times I've been the respondent myself, and some of those times I've been a bit of a smart alec in answering.
Somehow, the smartness and jibes and digs never conveyed the enlightenment I intended.
Honing knowledge is a little like honing steel: a heavy hand tends to work against what you're trying to accomplish.
Use a gentle hand. Let the stone do the work.
