In publishing it's rule of thumb that for every fan letter the publication receives there are more than a hundred who feel the same way but don't bother to write, so you may assume your congratulations are in fact multiplied a hundredfold. In your case I'm sure that's absolutely true.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-20369670546654834782014-04-22T16:24:10.482-05:002014-04-22T16:24:10.482-05:00Young people want to be disciplined and held to ac...Young people want to be disciplined and held to account.
