I want to thank you for this as well: I collect my portion of
  conversations elsewhere online (without people's names). I'm
  collecting them both for archival (because FB will go away
  someday as all of them do) and also for some future Book that I
  may or may not write.

  I get inspiration through challenge and you successfully have
  been challenging me to come up with responses. The more I engage
  in these types of conversations, the more material I have and
  the more clarity about my own positions on subjects I have.

  For example, until this conversation, I didn't realize that I
  held Systems in _such_ high esteem until you mentioned it. That
  was pretty cool.
