Mark, thanks for following up. I wasn't offended at all! The best thing about the blogging format is the instant feedback--having someone raise a flag when my logic and/or communication is fuzzy. Your prize for raising the flag is that I'm writing my next post around it! :) I think the question you raise is a great one: Can we really be intentional about being more open, or does one preclude the other?

Thanks again for your comment, and stay tuned for my follow up post!
