Matt - I invite you to go back and find any place where I have ever accused you of "saying too little." Your posts lean towards wordy (as mine do - so I plead guilty) AND cryptospeak (which I tend to try not to do). I'm not actually not that hard to please, my friend. Speak plainly. That's all it takes. I am myself guilty of wordiness - so I really cannot complain about yours without acknowledging my own.
Well - maybe "baggage" is a pejorative to some - but I am a serious traveler for work and pleasure. "Baggage" is simply a necessary part of the scene. I need it - and I likewise dislike carrying it. Pejorative? Only if you don't travel much. The fact is each of us carries the baggage of our existing worldview. We cannot unload it - it is part of how we function - but we CAN (with a bit of effort) trim it and adjust it when it becomes bloated or unnecessary. Perhaps we will do so here.
I have no clue what "method" it is you think we've agreed on - but I'm perfectly willing to hear you out and consider the points presented. Back to you, Phil...
