Hi Chris, Learning about something new I find it's often the entry point that's most problematic, then it's just easier to go to whatever the next logical step is. Months ago, I was coming at this from the angle that I'd have to learn R or Python to do what I wanted for a big idea. Ha. Your help with extracting questions from my journal made me realize that I can apply this to a bigger vision project I have that will hopefully help some people out and let me pay it forward. Can't thank you enough! I keep getting too many ideas for long-standing issues I've had with edting text though. :)
