Like all writers I write with the hope that my ideas will matter.  That someone will think about what I say. Perhaps even have a comment, a question - even a raw reaction.  And so I want to include the standard way to get back to me.  Send a note, a question, a challenge - especially good and new ideas,  ideas about whatever it is we are talking about.  Clearer, better  information. I will try to get into it and respond.  And if you look into my ideas here you will see how many have come from other people, happenstance encounters, just the luck of being in a good place when things were going on.  

I am told by the youngsters who handle all this that your comments will get through to me.
