Thanks, John.

(I was thinking there's no word like "coach" for an editor which one might use to signal respect. So John will have to do.)

I kinda love him just for the phrase softhearted youths.

It's interesting because, growing up as a Southern Black child, the thing you didn't want to be accused of by your parents was being "hardheaded." That was sure to lead nowhere good.

Um, I don't care about these tiresome infights but I'm a writer and lover of language and I had no idea what it meant the first time it crossed my timeline. If you have to explain it, it's not a good slogan.

Strong net, open skies, for example, sounds better. Even if it makes less sense.

Also, muck @cnn.com for setting these discussions as "on the one hand, on the other hand."

There is such a thing as truth.
