John, I get what you are saying. See, how considerate I am responding to your posting.

:)

Just a thought......ever been in a 3 D conversation with a group of people and you states an opinion but no one seems to acknowledge what you said. Then someone else pipes up with the same thought, but words it differently or maybe even exactly the same as what you said, and everyone turns to acknowlege that person. I guess it is rude, but it is also human nature. People seem to have a difficult time listening. I figure 2 D reading of postings is the equivalent to 3 D listening which at the best of times isn't the greatest.

Ever notice in 3 D few people really, really listen to you. I've notice in postings when someone really reads what I have written and responds to elaborate or discuss my thoughts posted, I think to myself "Oh my goodness, someone took the time to really understood what I wrote". At that moment I think to myself how good it feels and in return I try harder to do the same for others.
