imho, freewheeling brainstorming IS VITAL.

I think that's a major purpose and benefit of our times together in behalf of The Republic.

Nevertheless, it is evidently also wise to avoid being overly wild in our conjectures and speculations--particularly when we sound emphatically certain about our mere conjectures.

I don't think I was very clear or helpful in this post.

My goals in the post were originally to:

1. Note that free wheeling brainstorming was needed, vital--must be routine in all these efforts. No doubt.

I did want to acknowledge that while such free wheeling brainstorming is vital and necessary--I could understand a need to be somewhat mindful of how some readers might take some of our wording. ... and therefore attempt to avoid sounding to 'out there' in some of our conjectures--to the point that we trigger unhelpful stuff unwittingly.

I did not have ANYONE in mind but was speaking hypothetically in an attempt to agree with both boundaries--an absolute need to be free wheeling in our brainstorming but an admission that some folks might take some of our wording to unhelpful lengths if we aren't a little bet mindful of that.

At no time did I think that TEXOKIE was 'wild' in any of your writing or wording or feelings. You are a very helpful treasure to us in all this.
