"Luck fades, systems scale ..." absolutely love that! We tend to look for heroic individuals because that's more glam than imagining a systemic approach to greatness. It's also more prone to corruption and failure, and becoming an uncritical cult of personality #leadership

Everyone's different.

The further I am from my computer screen, the better I write. The problem is that the further I am from my computer screen, the more likely I am to forget everything.

Agree, I unilaterally wave thankyou, and do the acknowledgement wave recognising the original thankyou wave.

Oh yes, good idea, I never use Scroll Lock, except to turn off Scroll Lock when I've accidentally knocked it and turned it on.
