(((Joslyn))),
I can't do anything for clients over this medium and under Dr Bob. Besides I read the opening disclaimer and I agree with it and his premise from which it was derived. That doesn't make you wrong or bad. I am only stating my objective position. BTW, I ain't gonna... Troll for clients.
I ask for feedback like yours. I was left with quite a bit of intellectual legacy recently, with no forum to share it on. Much of it is sorta unfinished and needs fleshing out. I also journal ideas and ways to say or communicate my stuff. What you are seeing in some posts, is me like an opera singer practicing a note. Is that so bad? In computer parlance, you are getting the free beta test copy of the real thing. Use it and enjoy it. I have crumby technique still. If I do pass on a "gem" though, I ask you to let me know that it helped you.
From another post:
<<< That said, I see my weak suit (bridge analogy, and I don't do good bridge), my weak suit is communication. I can't figure out what's important without help. Babblers are so generous with the feedback I sense I need. I hope y'all respond to my questions objectively and don't get intimidated by me. I want to do what I do better than I do now. Timing and comunication are my personal citadels, and at the same time my grail.No, I'm not trolling for $$$$! I am letting you proof read my writing so that we can be a success because of it. You may be the only one who reads it. If it helps you, is it bad because it is intended to someday be published?
What I write here isn't what you will see in print anyway. You may see consepts developed and improved here in the writing someday, but they can be useful to you if they impact your life enough. Besides, for PhDs, the adage is "Publish or perish". "Recovery or Oblivion" was such a smashing failure for me that I now approach publishing cautiously with an 11 foot pole.
Keep responding. I love it!

PS: you're not totally wrong about my style. It probably smacks of all that sales training I've been through over the years. That's why I cherish your post to me. ...just one more thing I wasn't aware of (besides the spinach stuck in my front teeth). Smile!
