Ted,
Give it up you will never win the battle.
Hi_Yield:
 
I generally like your posts but have to disagree with you here. Elaine has done this a lot longer than anyone else. She has the educational background, has done the work and has the database of observation and experience. I wouldn't be doing any of the things I am doing if it wasn't for her.
 
I look at her posts as a way to help me not reinvent the wheel. I'm sure she has done ten thousand more microscopic observations than I have and her observations are backed by knowledge where mine are backed by a desire to acquire knowledge. Two different things when it comes to building concepts and understanding in my book.
 
Yes, I have discovered some trends but I may be missing some also. The ones I miss might be just as important as the ones I find. She has done this already.
 
Yes, I may approach the observations and brewing from a different perspective but that doesn't put my approach necessarily in conflict with hers. I still have a lot to learn. Also, my tools are meager compared to the tools she has at her command.
 
Quite the contrary to feeling that I have to win something here, I feel the challenge for me is to make sure I am clear in my presentation so that someone with Elaine's background can't instantly find a lot of errors and oversights that could be alternatives to my positions -- a different interpretation so to speak.
 
I may joke around with being miffed but it is all mock anger. I really appreciate that she takes her time to answer questions and act, in a way, as a peer (not that I am her peer, scientifically) review of processes. It helps me.
 
By the way, if I could afford it, I would love to take SFI training and pass it on to my son. It's just out of my realm right now.
