Andy, I am a great fan of yours and think that the things you say just about always are right on the mark. I've learned alot by paying attention to what you have to say. BUT, I'd have to say their is some justice in the remarks of your critics. As the saying goes, you attract alot more flies with honey than with vinegar.

There is an art to being able to disagree without being disagreeable. I wish, myself, that I were better at it. I, too, get VERY irritated at some no-nothing proclaiming views with great vehemence that are just completely wrong. More than once, I have gotten myself into a lot of trouble by setting such individuals straight in no uncertain terms. And, just about the same number of times, I failed to convince anybody of the error of their ways and succeeded only in having people turn on ME!

Your views and understandings are excellent. They need a clever and sympathetic spokesperson to get the full credit they deserve.

Best regards, Fred
