  Hilarious Paul, thank you!

Number 10 applies to me, and especially on days I call "bad OCD days" because my emails can be pages due to my inability to shut my mind off. I re-read some of them later (a checking compulsion) and think to myself no wonder no one answers me, they probably by now think "oh no, another book". 

The ability to laugh at ourselves is so important and your joke helped me do that.

Thanks again!
