  1. Scott,

    This is my second attempt at writing this but to be succinct I must commend you on your excellent work at sharing the views and experiences of so many wonderful individuals.

    I grew up in a very rural community focused environment but I’m now working for an American Multinational company which is quite different to the extent that I’ve become almost neurotic with the how and why of humans.

    This most recent offering is probably the best. Please continue the excellent work

    Sincere Regards
