I apologize- I do ramble a lot. I think paper would be the best record of my thoughts.

Whether it's paper or internet is irrelevant, but putting them in a discussion forum is the wrong choice, since only rarely have they been the start of an interesting follow-up discussion; the majority have been somewhat grandiose and to me very off-putting, titles which could have been gathered into a blog where those with similar interests could visit and read. And that is a pity, because if you started with a more straightforward question which had lots of potential instead of adding a lecture containing what you wanted others to know, rather than waiting for their views and then responding, well, don't you think that would be a good discussion? At the end of discussion, it matters not whether a final decisive conclusion has been reached, because it is the process of discussion which is the best part.

Regarding the use of words: I do not know of anyone here who does not have an extensive vocabulary - and knows how to find words if not immediately to the fore of the mind - but if they do not clarify meaning, then this is not the place for them, in my opinion.
