Rex,

Regarding this:

<>etc.

Without "copying" all of your communication back to me, let me just share
with you that this is precisely what I was hoping that you would post back to
my "attack" on your original post.  I realize that there may be names that
you cannot use; but I do hope that you will at least post *most* of what you
have written to me as a response (as opposed to the first response you sent
me).  Please understand that there are Forum Leaders (past, present *and*
future) listening to these conversations...so you may want to keep that
knowledge in the background of whatever you post.  It could be a kind of
"truing mechanism" for you to make sure that what you post is accurate and
rigorously "shared".  It will also keep you from speaking *down* to people
(which I have been guilty of myself on a number of occasions).

What you shared about yourself is both well shared (in other words, it
doesn't occur like you are blowing your own horn) and it gives me a *real*
sense of who you are...not like an advertisement for Landmark; but like a
human being acknowledging who you have been able to be and what you have been
able to accomplish out of your participation.  That kind of "sharing" is the
only thing that I've seen work "in the listening of" people who have not done
the Forum.

Statements like "Peace in the Middle East was actually initiated by Landmark
Graduates... " is not powerful.  What you "shared", *is* powerful.  If there
is any way you can look at what you just wrote to me and compare it with how
you originally stated that and actually *see* how the distinction "sharing"
gives power to what you said, I think you would find that very useful.

Thank you, again, for what you wrote...and for who you are.

Warmest regards,
Sam
