My post's would be a lot shorter if Jean would just explain his interpretations. My lack of brevity compensates for his lack of explanation.

I've always been amazed at those who can write so much. When they write to me, I just tell them I will read a few paragraphs. What I say to one I say to all: concise is nice.

These two take each statement made and meticulously answer it in excruciating detail.

There's a level at which I admire their dedication to work. But the Army Briefing training side of me wants to say what old Colonel Bill Tetu (artillery) would say: "Bullets...give me bullets. I mean bullet statements. If you can't say it in sentence then you can't say it."
