Steve, I admit there are some posting styles that I prefer over others. But I 
also enjoy the variety of topics and posting styles found here. And I think 
that even if everyone wrote like my *favorite posters*, the brain would hunger 
for new neural pathways to be made.

I guess what you are also saying is that your posting is the "standard" by 
which other posts should be judged.  Interesting.

Basically you are showing a lack of "reserve" which is what the corporate world 
would call it.  Your posts tend to be impulsive.  We been critical in the past 
of this kind of OCD posting.  If anything TM should produce a quality of 
"reserve" for people.  Apparenlty for some it doesn't and I think I know why.
