I try to keep my writing true to who I am. This does not mean I approve of sloppy writing and/or grammar errors, etc. It merely means whereas someone else may get right to the point, I prefer to hold the reader's hand... and I inject some of my personality into the tutorial, fully realizing that's not everyone's cup of tea.
But I am a firm believer in staying true to your individual personality. |
Laura B.. once again (IMNSHO) I believe that you have been spot on here (in so many ways) and that your contribution to this thread has not only been elegantly put and very relevant, but also beyond reproach.
Further, I think that the perspective you've shared has been like a fresh and strong cross breeze blowing throughout the bulk of the issues debated in this thread...
I'm no expert (well, not a verified one, at any rate ;} ..but my strong response to what you've brought to the table here is *KUDOS*!
...personally I'd like to thank you for your point of view
and for your diplomacy!
