  • The author of weeklyramble.wunderman.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: When you need it, you can't find it or its not available. Thanks for the info.
  • A very late response...found this great post that so resonates with me. I also plead guilty as an almost-walked-into-a-car- while typing-on-my blackberry perpetrator; would have much to say, but limit to this rather long, spontaneous but thought-out reply: 1.
