Because they are interested in what is said, rather than who said
it--something which you will NEVER understand--give up now ...

You can't tell me that these mental sharpies can remember what was said,
but not who said it, "John". I'd prefer hearing a few things of worth
than a lot of things of little worth.

the silly cheerleaders worshiping the football players in high school

said, I am sure all this is well above your head ...

I am sorry, I just can't put it in simpler terms for you to digest.

"John", I'm sorry you're having difficulties in making it more simple.

So you'd have me believe that you're a MENSA member? Do you attend
under your pseudonym?

Did you, by the way, mean "principles" or did you really intend the word
"principals"? That's very "strang".

Dave:

The word is "transparent", you neighbors, you family members
know--attend a self-help group ... it may help others around you.

Fine. I've changed your sentence to read:

"Means it is acknowledgment of the worth of transparent, practices and
knowledge ..."

you neighbors, you family members
know--...

Me neighbors and me family members will think it reads awfully funny.


...attend a self-help group ... it may help others around you.

No thanks, John. If you're an example of what self-help groups have
done, I believe I'll give it a pass.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd guess you're the wrong guy to explain
what goes on at a MENSA meeting.

You remind me of a fellow in the neighborhood when I was a kid, used to
go around talking to himself all the time ... no one paid him much
attention, nowadays would be different of course. :-)
