          Thank you for the insight you provided which intelligently makes total sense, at least to me. Taking the time to interject such worthwhile, edifying comments can only benefit those who are open to what you are saying.  The comparisons, notably the wine analogy, are right on!  Nice job, well presented,  and thank you!
