I really appreciate your words of wisdom. It was only last night that I came across Paul's message to the Thessalonians where he advises keeping our words short and succinct.
I have taken note of your various "truth darts" in your advice to others as well, and realize I need to be a bit less verbose, especially in dealing with an "infidel" who has little tolerance for one word from me, let alone many.
Brevity is the soul of wit, as they say, and of getting one's point across.
Thanks, and please feel free to offer any advice or comments, any time.
