Wow. I'm almost speechless. You've presented a unique point of view with
such vividness that I'm quite literally stunned. If I could afford it I
would pay you to evaluate every one of my ideas before I made a decision.

Thank you for such a powerful argument. I can't predict whether it will
change the course of events, but it sure has opened my eyes to a different
perspective. I think it would be foolish to not ponder this issue for a
while before making any final decisions.
