Wow..... you are a piece of WORK!
No doubt. Aren't we all?
John Barsness DOES have lots, and lots , and LOTS of rea world experience that entitle him to make well thought out experience based observations and comments. Wise folks tend to LEARN from others who have been there and done that.
No one ever questioned his real-world experience, talent as a writer, common sense, or pragmatism in print. I thought that was pretty obvious by "I enjoy your writing"... I got pissed the way I believe the originator of this thread was treated and said a couple of hard things. Basically, I further drug down an already drug down thread. For that I apologize to Mule Deer and everyone else. Over and out. Permanently.
