JB,

[From the presentation: ?Note that BrainStormWFO ‘auto-hoists’. This means that you are always focused on just one layer of the outline. This helps your brain relax, since you can only think about 7 items simultaneously anyway.?

I don?t intend to elaborate on this discussion, or this specific topic, I am just posting the links below for reference:...]

“Alexander Deliyannis objects to a portion of the BrainStormWFO sales page:”

I’ll try to phrase this as politely as possible: I have written in this here forum on Brainstorm too many times to remember; most times I have praised the software and/or explained its functionality to new users or interested inquirers. Not once do I recall having had my postings copied to the new Brainstorm’s log—which is fine, because here is the place they were meant to be posted.

And now I post _as_reference_ a few links and I find that this has been quoted and interpreted elsewhere, completely out of context. OK, I know this is the internet, but I’ve always found outlinersoftware.com (and outliners.com prior to this) an oasis of civilised dialogue.

As I noted, I do not intend to elaborate on the particular issue. I often post links and updates here _for_reference_ i.e. in the context of a related discussion; see for example http://www.outlinersoftware.com/messages/viewm/9545 Such a posting does not imply endorsement or rejection of the particular information.

I have learned a great deal in my many (many) years in this forum, as I am sure most others have. We do this by maintaining an open outlook for relevant (and often conflicting) information and differing opinions, not by rushing to argue against whatever we _think_ the other fellow is saying.

Joseph (I understand that’s what J stands for) _please_remove_ from Thinkerlog the reference to my name and supposed opinion. As for your own text, I’m sure you can alter it so that it doesn’t rely on the particular incentive; the links I mentioned are public and easily searchable, and you may very well post them and comment on them.

Once the said reference has been removed from Thinkerlog, I will ask the good Chris to remove this posting, and this momentary lapse of communication will be sent into oblivion.
