Yes you have, and I very much appreciate that.

As to the humor, some folks find Benny Hill humorous, some find him annoying.

I could quote your replies to some of the subjects I've brought up but that would be counter productive. I know we all have bad days and sensitive subjects, but sometimes you respond as if what I've said is some sort of personal attack on you.

I approach this forum from the perspective of an Intel Analyst.

Intel types rarely get to tell a commander what they want to hear, their job is to tell the commander what they need to know to make the best decisions possible.

They also provide suggestions how information could be used. But they are not the commander, they cannot, and should not, decide what (if anything) is used or how.

Is the information they provide always timely, accurate, valid, useful, and what the commander wants to hear – THEY WISH! But that doesn't make the information in and of itself any more, or less, useful.

Analysts do the best job they can, but they're human so they make mistakes (sometimes colossal ones).

You, Don, are the Commander, we provide you with information you use, or not, to make the final decisions.
