Thanks for today's thoughts, Rob. I liked noting the techniques you utilized as you made changes -- really, the "scientific method" at work. And your understanding that others may react differently to the same stimulus is certainly compassion at its best. At the risk of extrapolating too much, I believe if we all took your approach -- trying something different that others may be enthusiastic about, and recognizing that it can be a reciprocal transaction -- we'd all understand each other much better.
Glenn, you may be right. It's the old "walk in someone else's shoes" idea. As long as we don't also add the requirement that you MUST like it after trying it. The other thing is that we often need to give ourselves more than one try so we can make our mistakes.
