I don't mind analogies....I use them too. I only requested MoJo not use one in her explanation to me on that one thread only in that instance when she's responding to me about my question....I get bogged down in the analogies sometimes and the point is lost for me.
When I'm really trying to understand something I tend to grasp the point better when it's almost put in bullet point format LOL. So in order to understand her better, I communicated to her what I would need to "get it" better...so I could avoid going round and round on it in that instance and understand her point.
